A while back my talented friend,
Tracey, had asked for window covering advice for her small bathroom. She knew what she wanted but wasn't sure how to get it made. Being the
kind and
generous gal that I am, I offered my sewing services and sewed the blind for her! The neighbours were finding that they were seeing
too much skin over at Tracey's house
{he, he, he} and she needed to bring in some privacy stat!
The window in question...
After a few emails back and forth, I was able to nail down the style she wanted. Thanks to
Martha for inspiration I made this:
I am thrilled with how it turned out. I was a bit nervous as I went by measurements and photos she had emailed me! The fabric Tracey chose was a gorgeous white linen and we used mother-of-pearl buttons.
Had to throw this photo in, only Tracey would have a flower arrangement in her bathroom!

Well done- it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I made the same blind out of ticking fabric for my son's nursery in 2002. That Martha, always a classic!
ReplyDeleteThe window is so pretty. We really like the effect of the buttons.
ReplyDeleteWow! Love this, Barbara!
ReplyDeleteSo delicate and feminine.
Have a great day!

I think you did a fab job! I love the fabric, and buttons, but what I really love is how you were able to sew it from a distance! Really nice work, as always :-)

ReplyDeleteA few days ago I have read news just like this in a reputed newspaper. I am so much strange to see such kind of similarity. I am happy to see this.
