I went to the local fabric store with the measurements for my dining room window and ask how much fabric I would need to make new curtains.
My mom said they saw me coming when she saw the vast amount of fabric I came home with!
But as it turned out, I so glad I came home with such a armful of fabric! I made my dining room curtains and had enough fabric to recover my four dining room chairs and my ottoman! All for only $33! ....because my mother graciously did the reupholstering for free!
All this extra redecorating was a surprise blessing!
