These pants were made from an old April Cornell tablecloth that I had but rarely used. I love the border. The pattern I used was by Liesl & Co, “Cannes wide-legged trousers”.
Fascinators
These are some of the fascinators I have been making.
Cape
I made this in a Zoom Master Seamstress class, taught by the amazing Jane Headley. It has bound buttonholes and a full lining.
Roman Shades
Roman Shades
I made these shades for the dining room bay window. The cord can be fastened in three positions – half open (as shown), three-quarters open, or all the way down. While making them, I asked one of the experts at the Rowley Company for technical advice. When I finished the project, I sent her this picture in appreciation. She replied that they would like permission to post it on their website, and I enthusiastically agreed to the honor. It has since been replaced with other work, but I had my 15 minutes of drapery fame!
Window Seat
Window Seat
There was an empty space under the window, between the wall and the wardrobe, so we put in a cabinet from IKEA and voila! a window seat. I made the box cushion for the seat and also made the pillows.
