Simple fix

This is something so seriously simple you might not even need to read this post. I wont be offended. For the rest of you that didn't think of this, like me. You'll be knocking yourself in the head and saying "duh". So seriously. simple. it's. sick. :) Okay, here goes- Mistreating at it's finest.

See that little itty bitty window behind my couch?

It's just a single window but I hung the curtains a little wider so that it balanced out the room a bit more. But, with the sheers I only had one panel and it bugged me to no end that it covered all of the blinds. It's taking away some of the texture, and with a room so small-- it depends on texture to keep it fresh and clean and not a stuffy box. Not to mention LIGHT! Layers cover up much needed light in the room. So what did I do? Cut it in half.

Yup, just cut a perfectly good curtain sheer in half, and a little bit extra with each panel so they're skinnier. This helps it not be so bunched up, which would have been the problem with two full sized panels.

Anyway, after I cut them I just flipped them so that the raw edges were on the outside of the window, behind the drop cloth curtains, this way no one would see them. However I could have taken it a step further, just in case they frayed-- do sheers fray? Well I'll guess I'll find out, but if it bothers you grab some hemming tape  irorn it on to make a pretty little seem. No sewing included!

Unless you're my Mom reading this-- cussing me out for not breaking out my sewing machine. Hate me.

I'll go ahead and enjoy my lazy way of doing it.

Now they're semi- finished good enough and width appropriate to the window. Love it.

Goodness you'd think I'd iron them or at least clean up before I showed you this. Now my Mom is really going to let me hear it. 

See the difference? It's magical. So simple. Love it.

And, because I know you'd like to see the little girls behind the cute toes that cannot be cropped out:

Go ahead and try to tell them their feet need to be cropped out of a picture... Just try, dare you.
