🪡 From duvet cover to beautiful curtains… 🪡
I was recently asked by a lovely lady in her mid-80s if I could turn her duvet cover into a pair of curtains 💕
She had been trying to find either fabric to match her duvet cover or ready-made curtains that would coordinate with it, but just couldn’t find the right thing — so she wondered if I could work some sewing magic!
Of course, I was happy to give it a go. ✂️🧵
The duvet cover wasn’t quite wide enough to give the curtains all the fullness she originally wanted, so I had to carefully work with the fabric I had & make the most of every inch.
I think the finished curtains have turned out beautifully, most importantly, she now has curtains that perfectly coordinate with her existing duvet cover rather than having to replace everything.
As always, none of my sewing gets done without the very important supervision of Milo 🐕😂 — you can see him keeping a very close eye on proceedings in the background!
I love projects like this — taking something that isn’t quite working then turning it into something completely bespoke & personal for her.
If you have something you’d love transformed, altered, or made into something completely unique, feel free to get in touch.
