Curtain Extensions

Tawk of the Day:  "So, I've been kind of in a crafting slump.. I feel as if my house is looking more like a *home* and everywhere I turn I can't seem to find an opening on the wall for decor.. I mean, I could switch the decor out for the seasons, but I just can't seem to get a move on! .. I know there is much to be done, but lately I've been craft-lazy. :)  .. Have any of you felt this same way?! Help me haha"
.
My {very} boring curtains needed a lift. They needed some LIFE added to them.
Plain jane tan curtains. and they weren't long enough!

I got a 50% off coupon for JoAnn Fabric.. but I decided to not use it {and save money}
Instead I snatched some fabric remnants from my mother's craft closet.

I do not have progress photos of how I sewed them exactly.. I'm not a sewing-champion or anything.. You seriously just need to know how to sew a straight line, THAT'S IT!! **

I just made sure I cut about 3/4 length longer than what I needed for some leeway.
I cut off the hooks of the already curtain and simply hemmed the fabric to the hooks and the remaining curtain itself..

AFTER:::


These awesome Extensions added approx. 14.5 inches of colorfulness to them!!! :)

I just used some of the extra fabric to use as tie-backs!! 


{Hope you enjoyed this show & tell!}
