New Kitchen Curtains

While in town yesterday, I stopped at a yard sale and found a lovely embroidered lace panel.   It cost all of .25 cents, but unfortunately it was a shower curtain, not a regular curtain.  I left it, but kept coming back, so finally, I spent the big bucks and bought it thinking I could cut the end off that was designed for curtain rings and use it as a table cloth or some such thing.

This morning, I saw it pooled up on a chair in my bedroom and knew I had to find a use for it where I could gaze at its beauty.  Then it struck me - the kitchen window!  That particular window, I had left alone and not dressed for summer.  I didn't have appropriate curtains and I just didn't want to mess with it.  The panel would be perfect.

The first thing I had to do to make it work was to make a rod pocket.  I turned the shower curtain portion over and pinned it.

Then I stitched the hem to make a pocket.  Now it is ready to hang!

These are the "winter" curtains.

And the "new" summer dress!

Isn't summer beautiful!?!
