Curtains in the Kitchen

Let fall the curtains, wheel the sofa round,

And, while the bubbling and loud-hissing urn

Throws up a steamy column, and the cups

 That cheer but not inebriate, wait on each,

 So let us welcome peaceful ev'ning in.

The Task, IV, The Winter Evening

William Cowper

My first project for our home... curtains in the kitchen. I'm ridiculously happy about them... I mean it's curtains. Shawn and I picked out the fabric together. I had some nervousness about getting a pattern fabirc, my plan was linen with some embroidered designs, but I'm VERY happy with the results.
Here they are in progess:

I forgot to account for the fact that the fabric is directional... and therefore takes more fabric to complete the project. I ended up short - one window done, but the other only has one curtain. Apparently, S and I are not the only  ones who love this fabric, it was sold out all over town (But it did lead to my first trip to Fabric Depot! That place blew my mind.) I ended up ordering more online.
Here is one finished window:

I used the pattern from purlbee, Lovely Lined Curtains and I'm happy with the results. Details like top stitching, and pulling threads to make super straight lines gave it a professional feel. I lined it with kona cotton- I think it was coal. Anyway, I'm a happy girl. The fabric just showed up for the other curtain so I can get the other window covered up!
