A Curtain for My Sewing Cart

Before I could move onto sewing my sweater knit cardigan, I had to stitch up my sewing cart curtain. My serger and sewing machine was already threaded with off-white thread from my doorway panel project. Might as well finish everything before moving on.

Here's my finished curtain. I serged all the raw edges. This sheer fabric loved to fray and drop threads all over my carpet. I basically folded over the top and stitched down the fold. I made sure I had enough to slide the rod in to folded pocket. I did the same to the bottom, folded over but not as deep as the top. To hang this curtain, I used a spring tension rod that I found at Walmart. This is a lot narrower than the one I used in the doorway.


Here's my sewing cart with the curtain. I left enough room at the bottom, to have access to my SM pedal.

You can see in my window that tropical storm Hanna is sitting over us. So far, we've had 5.6 inches of rain and we still have a few more hours of her drenching us.


So, what sewing stuff do I have behind my curtain? A lot of sewing junk that I need to sort out, keep, or trash. As I get more organized (e.g. hide my fabric stash, collect my scattered patterns, etc), I'll do a future post on my sewing room.
