no sew window treatments

So I have lived in my house for over a year now and up until last weekend, all the windows in the house were bare and sad looking. I am a little bit of a snob and couldn't find anything in the stores that I liked. However, I am a snob on a tight budget, and I couldn't afford to pay a seamstress to custom make them. End of the story, I have stepped out there and am making my own. I have mentioned earlier that I am redoing our laundry room aka Stella's room. I do not have any before pictures of the room, however, if you can invision a boring room with nothing but a dog crate and a velvet chair covered in golden retriever fur (sick huh?) then you've got the right idea. Oh and how could I forget, the lovely dated brass light fixture (another sick). Since I am doing a full overhaul on that room, I tackled these window treatments first.

I have a sewing machine, however, I have rarely used it, and I am initially intimidated by threatening the thing...so I opted for the no-sew option. I once made a pillow and it took me longer to tread the machine than make the pillow.

First, I found out the exact height I needed. Then I pinned the fabric to the appropriate height.

Carson was very intrigued by the fabric. I was just praying that she wouldn't snag it.

Then, I used a fusible bonding material "stitch witchery." You simply put the bonding agent between the two pieces of fabric, iron, and ta-da!

Next, I used clips to attached the panels to the curtain rod. I know this whole process isn't the classiest...don't judge me! Like I said I am on a budget & although I aspire to be, I am currently not a skilled seamstress.

Finished product:I will post soon about the overhaul of the room!
