More pillows and curtains

Hi!

It feels like I'm not getting a lot done this week, projectwise. I went to Charlottetown yesterday with HH who had to work there. I did a bit of browsing around. We had a good lunch at Seoul Food and I found some chili powder at a Chinese Grocery store.  Hopefully, that will be the right kind for kimchee!  We picked up DS from camp on the way home. He had a great week. When we arrived home the in-laws were here with DD.  Today is the Tyne Valley Oyster Festival Parade. I hope it doesn't rain.

Here are some things I've done this week.

 I got my canvas for the back room/kitchen divider. 

I hung it up, but it's not quite how I pictured it.

I want it to be more taut and sail-like, instead of a curtain.  Here's my inspiration again:

I bought some grommets on the way back from taking DS to camp.

I'm not sure the curtain hanger would hold a big wooden board, so I might not be able to have that on top.  After I put the grommets on the canvas, maybe I'll use a dowel.  I can tie the curtain to it with rope thru the grommets and glue the rope to the dowel so it stays straight.  We used small dowels when we had the curtain rod in our bedroom and it worked fine.

In other news, I love piping!  I used piping on the wing chair for the first time. I  wanted to make some pillows using leftover canvas from the couch with piping from the striped wing chair fabric. Since I didn't have enough leftover striped fabric to do bias piping I just sewed it using straight cuts.  Here's a tutorial I used for adding piping to an envelope pillow.

Here's a picture of the piping sewn onto the front of the pillow.

Here's a picture of the finished product. I made two!

Have a great weekend! :-)
