I am sharing this at the CSI Project Fabric Week.
"I am a girl who loves fabric. I get giddy at a good remnant bin. Don't buy me flowers, get me a gift card to a fabric store. I've spent many days and nights hunched over my sewing machine making things for my home out of fabric, but my most dramatic project is the half canopy I recently made for our master bedroom.
Here is a before picture and my inspiration picture from Country French magazine.
Our master bedroom has a terrible layout, so we decided to move our bed to a different wall and positioned the canopy to conceal an unused door. I did all of the sewing and construction, but my dear husband installed it for me. You can find a full tutorial here.
The fabric was purchased on sale at Hobby Lobby and I just love the serene aqua and French toile pattern. This canopy needed a ton of fabric, so the entire project ran about $100 and took around four hours to make and install. $100 is pretty expensive for one of my projects, but it was well worth it and looks like it cost a great deal more.
My tutorial on this project may make your head spin, but it's really very simple. If you can sew in a straight line and use a staple gun, you can make this."
The other ladies involved in SYTYCD are sooo talented and creative, so make sure you check them out and vote for your two favorites.
