It made a beautifully straight cut and therefore a wonderfully straight hem.Adventures in Dressmakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276208940528297433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-59778705017605232302015-03-18T13:37:48.144-07:002015-03-18T13:37:48.144-07:00A futon with arms that fold up could be pretty nic...A futon with arms that fold up could be pretty nice. That is usually what I don't like about futons, as an arm rest to be able to lean up against is pretty important to me. And, it needs to be soft. Nice job at making a cute cover for the footrest. Sometimes a room just needs a little more color, and it is amazing how much better you can make things look with just a little fabric. http://www.creativefurniturehi.com/futon-framesAdventures in Dressmakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276208940528297433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-21744531245566360302015-03-17T17:23:55.402-07:002015-03-17T17:23:55.402-07:00I have the same linen ones from Ikea and I really ...I have the same linen ones from Ikea and I really love the look of them. Hemming was definitely a nightmare. I wound up using iron on hemming tape, which has stood up pretty well for the past 2.5 years.<br />I have noticed that over time the fabric has stretched and they're dragging more (should have hemmed higher). Next time I think I'm going to let the curtains hang for a while (like you would before hemming a skirt), and then try out your technique!Adventures in Dressmakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276208940528297433noreply@blogger.com
