Threading the cord through the curtain rings and eyelets wasn't nearly as fiddly as the instructions would have you believe - although this might have something to do with it not being a particularly large blind.
I impressed myself even more by drilling two holes into the wall (wall plugs and everything!) for the cleat.
Its not quite perfect, but for a first go, I'm very impressed with myself!!! and it doesn't block out too much daylight - which is handy! Should've done it years ago!
I'm hoping that it will 'settle' into its hang and the little mistakes won't be too visible.
Once I'd finished, I got started on my next project - an apron for my middle Niece, who is going to be 21 on Tuesday - she mentioned the other week that she liked the apron I made my mum for her birthday ... don't worry, a homemade apron isn't the only thing she'll be getting for her 21st!!! She also wanted some sewing patters (which were delivered today!!!) and I'll be giving her cash too (as requested).
She had mentioned wanting a 'patchwork' apron - not too sure I had time for that, but I had bought a selection of cotton fabric from the Fabric stall man at Canterbury Market yesterday, so made up a fully 'reversible' half apron(s) - had to plan it out, and it went surprisingly well - love it so much that I don't really want to give it up!!!
the more colourful side - for when your feeling that you need more colour in your house-work routine!
see...fully reversible....
and a more 'gentler' side - for when you just need to get the job done :-)
just hope she likes it!!!
