Started a new project yesterday, patio door curtains and throw pillows made from a 9 x 12 canvas dropcloth. I also have enough to make a smock for myself to wear in my studio to protect my clothes. I got the idea for the curtains from "The Feathered Nest" and have written her to thank her for this great idea. I have finished the curtains and the pillows but have not hung the curtains yet, Soon as I hang them I will take a picture. The dropcloth contained 12 yards of fabric and after washing in a cup of fabric softener added to the load, and dried ,it is soft and beautiful , looks a lot like linen. And has an unusual drape and came out with very few wrinkles. I tore all the edges and am going to leave them except for the hem for the rod pocket. I sewed that on the machine. What a great project to get my family room ready for spring.

here is the picture of the artist's smock I made of that same fabric. Just slip it on over your clothes. Tell me if you like it. The curtains are not quite ready for picture taking.

Love the smock! I'd be tempted to splatter it with paint on purpose!
Your house is just lovely, and I love your pillows too :)
What a super looking smock. You did great on this one. Using canvas material is something I would never have thought of, thank you for the great idea! All your work is so creative.
