Here is the lining all sewed together and waiting for the fabric to be sewn onto it.
Here's the fabric all pinned up and waiting to be sewn. It's hanging down to just off of the floor on the other side too. And this is only the fabric for 1/2 of the window--as there will be the same thing on the other side so we can open and close it.
I really need to iron the fabric again before I sew it. But I don't now how. It's 100% polyester, so I was extra cautious ironing it--had a cloth b/w it and the iron, as well as on the low low setting. I didn't damage the fabric. But I also didn't get any wrinkles out or creases in. Got to be braver!!
I haven't punctured my fingers yet!!
I'm still enjoying myself.
I've only miscalculated fabric amounts 2 or 3 times now! (Hopefully now that I've cut it, I've got the right numbers!!)
My machine is still being nice to me. :)
It helps knowing that it's me that is the problem, not the machine...
At the pace I'm going I should be done before next year. ;)
Oops, I mean the year after that. :p

Roze, I think you can use a hotter iron than you are using. Can you try it on a sample? Polyester can take a relatively hot iron. I love the fabric, btw.
nice work Roze. Glad the machine is still working all right. I would try making the bad wrinkles wetter before ironing and then like your MIL says, turn the heat of the iron up by degrees, preferably on a practice piece.
Hi Roze,
Just wanted to let you know that you are on my favorites list now so I will be checking up on you regularily - you are absolutely crazy girl - but I think it's the blogging that keeps you sane, am I right? You make me laugh that's for sure. I'm enjoying reading your posts - take care,
Gloria
