RE-PURPOSING OLD DRAPES

Today, I am sharing with you a simple, no sewing involved, project.

It took me about 30 minutes to get it done. Very easy!

I have these beautiful panels that I had purchased years ago for 

the living room in our old house.

When we moved here, they were just too small for all these 

large windows, so, there they went! 

Into my storage "treasure" closet.

What can I say?

I just don't like to throw things away!

I have been wanting a coverlet for my bed, but they are pretty pricey, 

so, today, I ventured to make my own using my old drapes. Ha!

I know is not like super elegant, but I think it came out pretty cute.

 Here they are before this crazy lady got a hold of them! :)

 The process was pretty simple.

I used my most favorite thing in the world!

I just love this adhesive tape. It is like the best invention ever!!!

I measured how long I wanted it to be and cut the extra material.

I had two panels, so I did this twice.

I hemmed them with the adhesive tape and after that was done, 

I attached both balances together, also using my hem tape, to be able to make it wide enough to fold over the bed in three parts to make it a little heavier. 

 This is what it looked like after I was done.

You can't even see the seam!

And, finally, on the bed.

Before and after

Thank you so much for coming over and
