Hello! šš»
I am still here, and cannot believe itās already almost Marchā¦ I havenāt posted anything sewing related this year š
Playing catch up now in sharing not only my recently completed orders this year so far, but more importantly, orders that I completed last year that I have never got around to sharing.
This order was installed back in October and was for a returning client who I have made multiple soft furnishings for since my early days in business, almost 14 years ago!
My client was looking for a door curtain to help keep the heat in over winter at the front door of their home. This lovely wool with a parquet weave was the perfect shade to complement the colour of the door, and with a satin fleece lining, it was more than enough to keep the heat in whilst not looking too chunky. With a cottage pleat heading, a slight kick on the floor and hung from a satin gold pole, it is elegant whilst retaining the traditional feel of my clients period property.
I also added a fringing to an existing pelmet that I made a few years back to add more depth, with new tassel tiebacks to match. The pelmet originally was made to clear the shutters, but my client always felt it was too slim, so by adding a fringing, it makes the pelmet feel deeper but does not impact the shutters from opening.
Hopefully I do better this year at sharing finished work than I did last yearā¦ š
