My burlap drapes are finally up!!!
I'm doing the happy dance.
I'm doing the happy dance.
Burlap is not the easiest fabric to work with. That
is if you’re a beginner like me using the sewing machine. The rewards though are
so worth it. Don't give up trying as I came close. My sweet husband did come to
my rescue. It's easier to sew burlap if you have someone else helping you move
the fabric along.
The thing I love about burlap is how it
drapes not to mention the thickness and fullness it has.
Since there is a radiator in my office and two
built in book cabinets on each side I also used curtain holdbacks. It worked
like a charm!
Here is how the burlap drapes looked before I added the curtain holdbacks.
The curtain holdback also worked beautifully at the other window since the desk is there.
As you can see I'm making my way around the room updating each section. The desk still needs to be finished. I do have many more update in the works. I hope you come back each week to check on my progress.
Coming this week!
I will do a post on how I made the burlap drapes.
Thanks for stopping by!

Dee, I have always heard burlap can be a bear to sew! Your drapes look wonderful! They warm your office so much! Your office looks amazing! I love your accessories!
Your curtains look great!!! :D I like the holdbacks, too, and the little archway going into your office is truly enchanting. I love it! Your family will have a difficult time luring you out of your adorable office. ;P

who would have thought a simple tie back would make such a big difference? Very nice!
Nice job on the drapes! I love the texture and natural look. ~ Maureen
Dee,
You are one brave lady. I don't think I would have attempted to try making them myself. I have used burlap before and it is very difficult to work with. You did a fantastic job and I applaud all of your hard work! :)
beautiful result! I am glad you did not give up!
Your burlap curtains looks great Dee! You did an awesome job and I love the curtain hold-backs. Enjoy your week, Gail
Kudos to you for sewing burlap! :) The drapes look soooo pretty and just perfect for the space. I agree that the hold backs make all the difference for the windows. Are the walls painted/textured or wallpaper? It's beautiful, whatever it is. :)

I love your curtains! I don't enjoy sewing and good for you using itchy burlap!! I love the casual, neutral look they add to the room...which by the way, is coming along nicely! Great job!
Blessings,

Hi Dee,
Your burlap drapes are awesome! Burlap is so hot right now. Love them with the tiebacks. You have such a nice office.
They look great. I found a pair at an estate sale that were from Ballard. They were only 20 dollars. I'm not sure where I'm going to hang them, but they were such a great deal I couldn't pass them up.
I LOVE how your burlap drapes turned out. They look great! I would never have thought to use burlap as drapes. What a great idea.
I am your newest follower. So glad to find you. Hugs
Oh I love those drapes!! So pretty, I love burlap anything........ xox
Your burlap drapes came out lovely! I just made a cafe' curtain for my kitchen door out of burlap... you are right, it's a bit tricky to work with but in the end it's worth it!
I'd love for you to share them on my Farmgirl Friday Blog hop!
Great job on the drapes! I made some for my sons room and, I agree, love burlap but it is hard to work with when sewing. Looking forward to seeing more of your office updates :)
Love these burlap drapes, and your office is looking beautiful! A girl could get office envy...
