I’ve used this metallic ribbon for curtain ties since I made these curtains a good few years ago now, and they’re getting a bit ratty.
I came across this video about making medieval braid, and thought that I could use this technique to make nicer curtain ties, like this!
I used spare yarn from an old crochet project, and I reckon it worked a treat.
In future, I’d look at making it slightly less chunky; I think part of that is the fuzziness of the yarn I used, as well as the weight of it. Perhaps thread would work differently?
Remember this checked pinafore of Hazel’s? She tells me that there isn’t enough volume in the skirt – which is totally understandable. What is the point of a skirt if not for dramatic twirling purposes?
I added an extra panel in the front and two slimmer panels at the back, and now it’s lovely and full!
Much better for twirling in.
I did also cut out some interesting things this morning, which will show up here again….. soon-ish.
Anyways, see ya!
