Stitchin’ in the Kitchen

I took the day off to shop for fabric for valances for my kitchen windows. I’ve decided to make indoor awnings, but I don’t have a pattern so I spent the better part of my afternoon trying to figure out how to construct them, taking measurements and doing lots of math. I love my trusty old sewing machine. I bought it over about twenty-five years ago to use while sewing my wedding dress. It’s sewn many curtains, quilts, pillows, and Halloween costumes over the years, and it still doesn’t miss a stitch.

@robd57 Thank you. I love my macro lens even more than I love my sewing machine!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Nice shot. I haven't used mine in a while, but I would never give up my sewing machine! Looks like the fabric is really nice!

hmm, you sew, I will send you the new patterns for the curtains I need in my camper, haha

This is a really well composed shot! I love the use of the macro lens here, it's so detailed! Can you post a pic of the finished valance? :)

[Rick Schies]

Nice idea, and good luck with your project.

@wjw1741 I still owe my brother curtains for his cabin.

@olivetreeann @tashachawner @erikadee @digitalrn Thank you! I’ll post a picture of the valances providing they’re photoworthy! The jury’s still out!
