Here's the latest curtain project. I really like this blue printed cotton fabric. The plan was to turn this fabric into a dress with my eye on McCall's 8090. And then once again, plans changed. The fabric was used for a set of kitchen curtains. The lightweight 100% cotton fabric was previously pretreated with a tumble in the washing machine and dryer and was ready to hit the cutting table.
Sewing IS Political
This is another Canadian made and tariff free sewing project. The fabric has been in the stash before the convicted felon's tariff and trade war. These are times for sewing the stash or just plain reconsidering a project as fabric prices continue to increase. Even threads are hit with price increases that makes one reconsider colour matching. A close enough colour of thread will do just fine, as in this case (blue thread for top-stitching and beige threads for the serger). The fabric was an end of the season discounted item from many moons ago. I found this fabric at Fabricland, a Canadian fabric outlet. The Gütermann threads were pulled from the stash and also came from Fabricland. The fabric scissors used to cut out this project are from Merchant and Mills, a U.K. company and were purchased from The Workroom, another Canadian fabric outlet.
