[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 622267, member: 1233"] Did you know that you can buy the fabric to line curtains for blackout curtains? It is in the home decorating fabrics on the wide rolls at the fabric stores. You don't even need to sew if you don't want to. Buy some stitch witch or fabric glue (I like "OK to Wash It" for a couple of dollars and you can do all the windows. Just iron creases for the sides and then follow directions on the glue or stitch witch and you will be done in no time. For the top you can make a pocket wide enough to slide a rod through or use ribbon and make loops to put the rod through. I did four windows in well under an hour using stitch witch when we lived in one apartment. If you have a JoAnn's or Hobby Lobby, you can find a coupon online for 40% off any one item almost all the time. One cut of fabric equals one item. I have been known to have the fabric cut to the width or length of the window for each window needed. Then I have husband and the kids each check out so that they can each use one coupon for the discount. It saves me a TON of time cutting the fabric, lol. The crocheted dresses sound adorable. I bet they would be cute using tank tops too.If you want a fast, easy dress fr the girls, JoAnns has fabric that is gathered on one side of the fabric like a tube top and is long enough for dresses. You simply cut the fabric to the size to go around the body and then sew that seam. It can be strapless or simple ribbon straps can be added. These are super popular here. [/QUOTE]
