Hand-stitched curtains

We're moving all contents to a new site You can find us here at the new  hand-stitched curtains URL   If you've come here through an old bookmark, please update accordingly 😊 😘 It was that simple, except I don't own a sewing machine so all stitching was done by hand :'( But the result was satisfactory. I even made a pair of curtain tie backs using an old belt that is no longer in use. The hooks can be removed and reused again, and the tie backs are secured by some old rubber bands tied on the hooks.
