I bought a book last week, about making your own soft furnishings - I've decided I'm going to get rid of the horrible tin venetian blinds we have (courtesy of the last owner) and make some proper curtains. Ambitious, I know!

I was wondering if anyone has some tips/hints for me? I've measured all the windows, allowed a bit extra on the measurements for some nice 'drape', and I'm currently deciding what kind of curtains, what colour etc. So it's off to Spotlight for me tomorrow, yay!!

Any help appreciated!
