How it's done:
1. Remove duvet from plastic and measure both your window and your duvet cover.

2. Seam rip the seams throughout the duvet creating 2 separate panels.
3. Cut your newly made panels to the size determined in the previous step.
4. Sew up your raw edges and a loop for the rod of your curtain to slip through.
5. Slip your newly made curtain panels onto your rod to your liking.
6. Enjoy!

Guess what?? My living room is almost done! Just a couple more finishing touches and I am off to the kitchen! Bet you are excited for a change of scenery right ;).
These really have been the easiest project I have done in a while! They took like no time at all and make such an impact on the room!
I also love how they added another print or pattern to the room, adding multiple patterns to a room creates visual interest and adds personality. For sure try it out!
{Various patterns present in my living room.}
Have any questions about this project? Or just for fun? Let me know I love hearing from you and am more than happy to help! Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day! Love, love.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE wide, bold stripes - this is terrific and would make any visiter HAPPY! Great idea :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute!! Thanks for linking @Creative Itch's "Sew Cute Tuesday"!
ReplyDeleteThese are darling! Bold and un-pirately is a great new made up word for it! Something that renters [like me!] can do and not worry about adding color to walls, but to the windows - on the cheap! :-)
