While Ian was away I decided it was time to make the new curtains for the cottage. I have been putting this off for at least four months, maybe six. First of all I couldn't find any material I liked at a price I could afford so that was a fine excuse. Then I read a recommendation for Textile Express on Annie's blog. Textile Express has a fab website but when I realised it was only forty minutes away in Oswestry I had to visit. Wonderful choice, great prices; material purchased. Then I carried on putting the job off because I was a bit daunted by the fact that two of the curtains are full length ones for doors but there is nothing like knowing you have a few days to yourself to make you feel you can get your teeth into a project. And amazingly, now it is done. As I have been thinking of nothing else for about a week I thought I would share with you my own advice on how to make lined curtains. I am not a supremely talented sewer but ...
CONGRATULATIONS!

ReplyDeleteElizabeth - I was just about to switch off when I spotted your name and saw that you had posted a blog - hurrah I thought - she is back - must find out if she did it all. Well you did. Congratulations - footsore and with lots of washing to do, I'll bet you are still over the moon. Look forward to seeing bits of Offa when you find your camera.

You must be on a walking high. Congratulations. You are an amazing woman and now you know you can do almost anything. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHello & congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteI've just found your blog. I am typing to you from Chicago, Illinois, USA. In 5 days, I leave to England & begin my solo Offa's Dyke hike on Tuesday, June 30. Reading your blog has made me more excited & helped quiet some of my butterflies. I feel a kinship to you & your hiking companion as I, too, am a woman doing this journey.
Per your recommendation, I've just emailed the Park Cottage to stay there my first night.
If you have other recommendations of B&Bs along the way, and other words of wisdom, I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thank you. Hmmm...Perhaps I, too, will create a blog...
:)
