Dressing up the basement

The basement has a tiny little window that I have intended to make a curtain for since moving in over seven years ago. A week or two ago I happened upon some fun cat fabric at the Sew-op, and I made the curtain last night. Pardon the crummy photos; I tried three times for decent ones to no avail.

The curtain is lined with white muslin and held up by a tension rod that came with the house. Because the cat fabric was super fray-prone and shifty, I cut a rectangle from the muslin, pinned it onto a piece of cat fabric that was larger than necessary, and stitched them together around the perimeter before trimming the cat fabric to size.

For good measure, here’s a before picture and a shot of what the cat fabric actually looks like. The cardboard came out of some wall calendars, and was in there for privacy.
