After around 5 months Caro and I finally couldn’t stand our curtains anymore. They came with the apartment, and up until we rearranged the living room we were able to partially ignore them. But after we had a nice new arrangement we were reminded of just how gross and ugly the curtains were (there are giant stains on them..).

So last thursday I rushed home after my class at 7:40 pm so that we could make it to the fabric store. None of the patterned fabrics were exactly what we were looking for.. then we realized that we could make our own pattern to match the blanket that Caro put on the sofa. :D

We had to look through cell phone photos to find shots with our couch in it, haha.. but here is what we finally ended up with. :]] We estimated and bought a bunch of fabric, then used photoshop to decide what order we liked them in.

I failed to remember to check the fabric widths before we bought them (oops). Some of them ended up having 70” widths while others were 35”, so we had to do some creative rearranging of our idea. That’s why two of the panels are split colors. ;p But I actually like them that way now~

Total project time, including purchasing fabric was around 4 hours. We were in a hurry because we were holding our first party the next day, haha.

Next project for the living room is to use the leftover curtain fabric to make covers for the pillows that came with the apartment. c;
