I love silk and love working with silk. Silk is a crisp fabric but made with irregular slubs in the yarn.
These drapes are in a bedroom and I added buttons to match.
A beautiful Look. Pinch pleats with a swag and trim.



North Idaho is where I live and lodge is the theme here. I made cornices and added solid color drapes under them. Also a pillow for fun.


This was my very first job 15 years ago. Nice to go back and see they are still in great shape.

Sunbrella Fabric



I recovered these cushions over the summer. Sunbrella is a beautiful but expensive fabric.
If you are going to invest in your furniture you might as well go all the way. Sunbrella will not fade or mildew.

Nature

Nature at its best. A cornice for a window adds a layer of color without adding too much. I love to make cornices.

Playful and Fun


The top picture is a panel with a swag and beads. This is also still in my shop and there will be a total of 4 panels. This customer is fun and playful and these drapes show it. Elegant but fun. I had leftover fabric and made a table runner to go with.
