I went from apparel sewing (while living at home - teenager), to home decor, to quilting and now to all of the above.

I love home dec sewing for the exact reasons you listed. :) I'm also into fun colors that you can never seem to find the perfect mix of in Bed Bath & Beyond or the like.. :) Plus, I agree with most here - it's a little (ok, for me it's a lot) easier than clothing sewing, if your style's pretty basic like mine. Also, it's easy to do a quilt block a week and in a couple of months you have a whole new look for the bedroom!amanda-serrentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16093747664507551861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-80532888377481539602012-02-03T02:44:09.518-05:002012-02-03T02:44:09.518-05:00My home decor/quilt making goes hand in hand with ...My home decor/quilt making goes hand in hand with clothing sewing... yes it does....

I moved into a house that needed 20 sets of curtains, so I decided to do a Certificate in Soft furnishing. I learnt so much on this course that I use in garment sewing. Because home dec normally involves sewing in straight lines and no fitting, it helped my sewing confidence hugely so when I decided to start making my own clothes it wasn't such a leap. I'd recommend this to anyone.Paolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472129226320589172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-40117653142133358512012-02-02T16:38:01.460-05:002012-02-02T16:38:01.460-05:00Gosh, you're so gorgeous and I just realized w...Gosh, you're so gorgeous and I just realized why -- it's your winged eyebrows!Snezananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-81698392591097502242012-02-02T14:00:18.842-05:002012-02-02T14:00:18.842-05:00I don't have much practice sewing, so I LOVE h...I don't have much practice sewing, so I LOVE home decor projects!

My husband is waiting on me to finish sewing a few more window treatments. I think the historical costumes call to me louder than the window treatment fabrics due to school and travel schedules. My motivation in sewing my own home decor is that I don't like what I find in the stores, or when I do I can't afford them. With homemade I can customize to our tastes. Home decorating though is a compromise in my simpler preferences and my husband's fancier preferences.<br />Laurielahbluebonnethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950236885711745357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-67436935734981393642012-02-01T22:20:58.578-05:002012-02-01T22:20:58.578-05:00Here's where I'm at:

I made THE cutest curtains for our last home's original 1951 bathroom. When we sold/gave the house away, I kept 'em. :) Pillow covers, table runners, napkins, placemats, all kinds of fun things! It's fun and, like I said, sort of a break. I can't wait to see what you come up with, Gertie!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15233479262926672923noreply@blogger.com
