Studio curtains please

 The studio is coming along nicely.  Currently I have been sewing curtains for my windows.  I really wanted to sew up something non-fussy...............So this is what I came up with.  

Quilted cotton with a floral pattern.  Check it out:





Next up:  To sew a chair cushion in a quilted cotton with a different pattern.  I plan to make my own piping.  


Lastly, here is a link to my most recent How to video titled:  "Paper Cut Out Collage".  Enjoy

Mosquitoes, please stay out of my studio

New Orleans is famous for so many fun wonderful things, but also the dreaded mosquitoes.  Rain can pop up anytime.  You may be out and the skies are blue and out of nowhere a downpour.  So it is not surprising that we have a lot of mosquitoes.  

Since the studio does not have any air conditioning, it is important for me to keep the main door open for air flow; which also is a welcome mat for mosquitoes to come in.  Bummer.  

My solution, sheers hung inside the door way.   I was fortunate to have some extra sheers stored in my closet, for a project I decided against.  

I wasn't sure if the sheers would keep the mosquitoes out, but they actually work.  Check it out:

I left the sheers open for this photo but I usually keep them closed while in the studio. 

Maybe this will help someone who is suffering from mosquito bites too. 

Stay healthy and safe.
