Patchwork Curtains in My Sewing Room

I got two more elements in my sewing room done~ patchwork curtains & skirting my work tables. Keep in mind that I took stuff out so you aren't distracted by everything else going on! :) I love how the curtains came out, exactly the look I wanted! I combined mostly Jennifer Paganelli prints with Amy Butler, Anna Maria Horner, Tanya Whelan, Sandi Henderson, Dena, Patty Young. I went to my scrap bags and just pieced according to the colors I wanted with an overall word in the back of my mind~ picnic. I'm not sure why I had that direction, but I tried a few different color combos and this one captured the colors and look I was going for. I find it easier to decorate a room with a word or theme in mind. I hot glued velcro to my tables and then sewed velcro to fabric and attached them. I love how its all shaping up, but I still have lots more to do!

My New Desk Area Finished!

Well, I am slowly starting to move into my new sewing room. There is so much to put up, attach & move that it will be a slowish process. I thought I'd post as an area is finished. My first priority was getting my desk area finished so I can use my computer asap. I painted an antique chair I had white as well as the desk. The desk was Tom's grandmas & it already had 3 layers of paint on it. It looked like the original was aqua~ which I would have loved! I used fabrics from Jennifer's new Honey Child line for the chair skirt. Dana in green for the seat (from Jennifer's fqs she sent me), skirt in Danielle in green that I ordered from http://sewmamasew.com. The piping & ties are from Queen Street & are a great coordinate. For the desk top, I used iron on vinyl that comes in 17" width & I use it for the back of changing pads. I ironed it to Elizabeth Rose ice from Flower Power & pinked the edges for cuteness. It makes a great mouse pad as its smooth & adds color to the all white desk. Lots more to show you coming up!

Now the Fun Begins . . .

There is my faithful MIL painting my sewing room 'Ionic Blue' by Behr. I am trying to juggle my orders, finishing the rooms in our house & 2 sick kids, so she was really helping me out. I can hardly wait to get in this room!! My inspiration piece is Jennifer Paganelli's Loopy Vintage Floral in turquoise & it is a great match. Most likely it will be President's weekend that I can 'move in' as our family room is a higher priority. We are really squished eating and trying to relax in our living room with floor to ceiling stuff. We will feel like kings in our new space!!!! I am dreaming every night of the possibilities in decorating this room. Can't wait!!
