#curtainlining

Explore the hidden benefits of blackout curtain linings—perfect comfort, noise reduction, and thermal efficiency.

I love upcycling 🥰 3/4 length sleeve top with draped front, gathering to the left side seam to add shape, contrast zip fastening at the back, and top-stitching detail along seam edges. Fabric was sourced from @clossandhamblin, and was an old piece of curtain lining remnant that been ready-pleated. A lot of the time my creations don’t have a long winded starting point, mainly because I dislike following trends. My designs start with the fabric, and the shapes evolve from draping experimentation. I also used all the fabric I had (just over a metre), meaning I had to be economical with pattern placement. Breaking a lot of rules in terms of how things are ‘meant’ to be according to industry standards, but where’s the fun and creativity in sticking to those rules? #breakem #breaktherules #seamstress #upcycling #curtainlining #pleatset #pleated #creativity #fabricfirstthendesign #thinkoutsidethebox #diy #diyfashion #fashun #candhguildford #makedoandmend #havefun #dowhatmakesyouhappy #rebel #slowfashion #sorrynotsorry #recycle #reuse #repurpose #remnant #fabric https://www.instagram.com/p/ByNMANcgzPH/?igshid=jr9rdez8e02m
