Can't decide!

look at the singer 221K (slightly different to the 222K and a lot cheaper) .... yet highly sought after

you can pick them up for under £150 in mint condition on ebay .... you can still get them fully serviced and all accesories are still available

Thanks all! I'll post pictures of the end result sometime in the new year. I haven't had a chance to start them yet because of appointments and baysitting duties with my grandchildren.

 

Look forward to it Sheal. Good luck and happy holidays.

 

Thanks Victoria and I return the tidings!

 

At long last my bedroom curtains are finished! The fabric was a nightmare to work with and frayed terribly, because it is quite thick. I started by overlocking the edges but that wasn't holding, so I then hemmed all the seams which made them quite bulky, but it was the only way to stop them fraying. I chose a coffee coloured thread, that seemed to be the best contrast.

I've also included here a couple of pictures of the dining room curtains I made previous to the bedroom ones, which I made tie backs for as well.

With these out of the way, I can now concentrate on preparing for the coming growing season and getting my seeds under way. Well, that is until I start work on redecorating another room.
