To Sew, or Not to Sew?
After a few days of humming and hawing, I finally made a decision on whether to sew the curtains for baby girl’s room myself, or to have them sewn for me.
The verdict: DIY!
Why? Well, as much as the lazy, pregnant girl inside of me would love to have the folks at Tonic Living sew the curtains for me, the practical, can-do girl inside of me is saying to suck it up and sew! Also, the budget-loving, money-saving girl inside of me remembered that we still need to find a rug for the room to help dampen any hardwood floor squeaks and noises. The money saved on custom sewing can go towards the rug budget. Practicality wins again. Sigh…
So, it looks like my Christmas break (bearing that the fabric arrives before Christmas…fingers crossed!) will be spent doing this…

This…

And a more of this…

Wish me luck!


I wanted to make curtains for baby’s room but I couldn’t justify the cost of fabric to make them! It bummed me out that it ended up being cheaper to buy then make…sigh. I can’t wait to see your finished product!
Have fun with it. Your baby’s room will be filled with love.
Hi! I’m a new reader here. I actually found you via Instagram. (I’m laurabarndt on there.) I’m almost 26 weeks pregnant with my 2nd, and found you through a #26weeks hashtag. I’ve been itching to get onto some sewing projects, but have been procrastinating like crazy. You are inspiring me to get moving! Maybe after Christmas.

Thanks for visiting Laura!
