What to do with Batterberg lace table runners!

Are you ready for Christmas!

I am still working on it. Also still

working on moving furniture.

Yes - we are slow, but the furniture

is heavy!

 

Anyway I feel like it is Christmas

already!!

 

I have been opening up boxes and going

through them. Time to purge some things.

When you sew and do a number of

different crafts, it gets hard to get

rid of anything cause you might need

it for something. Things such as

little hats or glasses that belongs

to dolls. Or crochet thread even

though I do not crochet - I do use

this thread to tie my quilts with.

The crochet thread also comes

in handy for making large

basting stitches on just

about anything. Well I have talked myself

into keeping the crochet thread.

Woe is me!

 

I did stop some to make these

sidelight curtains. I figured that

it is about time to make a pair.

 

I used 2 Battenberg lace table runners that

were just setting around in a box.

Truthfully I have had them for eons.

I also used a small amount of

white linen.

I hemmed the sides and the bottom

of both pieces of linen. I hemmed only

enough at the top to slip some wire

through.  Then I merely sewed the

Battenberg lace onto the linen.

The wire rests on 2 small

nails located at the top of the windows.

 

This was super fast and easy! And when
I no longer want to use these table
runners as curtains, then I can just
take the stitching out.

I guess they make some small curtain
rods for these sidelight windows, but
they would be bulky. I like the look
where you know something is holding
the curtains up - but you ask, how did
you do that!

 

Now, I really do like my window sidelights!

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

 

Thank you for visiting me.
