I need to learn how to sew.

I ordered some fabric from reprodepot with the intention of making my own curtains.

Fabric for Curtains

Great idea, in theory! The problem is… I don’t know how to sew.

I’m a very crafty lady, and I can do a lot of home improvement projects (I used to be a handyman, er handywoman), but I never learned how to use a sewing machine. I own one, and I’ve never used it!

My Sewing Machine

Is it difficult to learn? I should probably practice on some scrap fabric, I suppose. I think I need to take lessons.

Tansu and Satula

I wrote a little haiku for today.

Beautiful fabric,
why are you so hard to find?
I just want curtains.

Tantsu and Satula Marimekko Fabrics

The above fabrics are both by Marimekko, and they’re both available (I think) on this Japanese website: http://www.icenter.co.jp/satula.htm. At least I know the names, numbers, and corresponding colorways for each of the fabrics (Tansu: 19926-21 and Satula: 19927-24).

I wonder if they can be ordered directly from Marimekko…
