Mine and Maggy's First Spin

At home without John and my new sewing machine I was excited to start pretending I know how to sew. So I decided I'd make curtains. All strait lines right, can't be too hard.
Here is my little kitchen window before I did anything. I bought a curtain rod and one 84in long curtain. I came home cut the curtain in half and then made two small curtains.
Super easy, measure, cut, fold and iron, pin and then sew! The hardest part of this whole thing was remembering how to thread my bobbin. No joke it took me 4 or 5 tries and I threw away so much thread! Had to learn somehow.To add something extra I decided to put ribbon at the bottom of my curtain.
And VoilĂ  here is the finished product. Who ever knew I could actually be domestic!
