Meanwhile, in sewing land: Unpicking the hem from a curtain so I can shorten it up a little bit. And then I'll have to re-measure it and re-hem it, and sewing curtains is possibly the most tedious sewing task you could possibly do. It's unwieldy, it's boring and it's somewhat precise. Terrible! Terrible!
Anyway, I've been putting this off for months if not a year or more, and I gotta.

@sinituulia fortunately, unlike children, walls and windows rarely grow up much, so you don't have to re-hem and shorten or lengthen the curtains very often.

@elfkin Every time I'm surprised by how it can possibly be more tedious than I remembered

@sinituulia @elfkin I would like to have some nice new curtains for the new house
almost all of the windows are door-sized, giving access to balconies etc.
my mother's old curtains from ikea are perfectly fine, and they aren't that bad, even if they are not all the same length and the fabric is off-the-grain :D
