In my creative space today - new curtains for mums bathroom in her country cottage. The new shower has been installed, but she's still waiting for the inside toilet.
I found everything I needed in the stash already, which is just how I like it - floral remnant teamed with op shopped purple linen/cotton blend.
A quick tip - if you ever see curtain tape or curtain rings and hooks at the oppy, then it's definitely worthwhile buying them. You just never know when someone may need them, and it's soooooo much cheaper than buying them new!

Ooh - an inside toilet will make all the difference this winter! Nice curtain combo - the block colour really brings up the pattern. Nic
Lovely curtains!
(Your stash has a better selection of prints and notions than Spottie!!)
Beautiful curtains! Great tip too :)
Beautiful! She will love them.
They are really pretty :)
Very soft and bed roomy, I sure your Mum will love them. Is there no end to the things you can make????
I'm a "you never know when..." op shopper too. Makes for very full cupboards, does it not?
Ooh an inside toilet! lol. Can't wait to see the finished bathroom! Love that tip. I need hooks, maybe I should keep an eye out at the op shops. Thanks for that Cam!
Ooh I like that floral! So nice & peaceful!

Very good advice Cam but I'm trying to stop the "one day" purchases. Full to overflow at my place ;)

I agree. I recently compared prices...and there was no comparison. Luckily, around here we seem to have a glut of curtain making bitd snd piecesd (knock on wood) xxNick
I love the sound of a 'country cottage'. Conjures up all sorts of nice images, including lovely curtains. Great job!
Ohhh - outdoor toilet brings back memories of fearful dashes in the night as a child to the spider infested loo.
PS -- love the shower curtain
How sweet you are to your mum...they look pretty, hope she likes them.
what a lovely daughter you are! Go Cam!
Your mum must be so proud of her clever daughters :P
Love the fabric, looks great! You're right about the tape & rings, definately worth buying at the oppy!
Oh you are so sweet! And what lovely colours you have chosen!
