Curtains are Hemmed!

When we re-did the bedroom color scheme we got new curtains from Ikea. They were a great deal - a set of 2 curtains for $25. Most curtains I have found at places like Bed, Bath & Beyond, etc are $30 for one panel. The curtains from Ikea were 96" and you hem them according to how long you need them. 

I was lazy for a while and finally decided to hem them. I don't have a sewing machine, so I bought Stitch Witch and thought I'd see how that worked out. 

It worked great! I cut off about 14 inches from the bottom (I do a post later this week about what I'm going to do with the extra fabric!) and then folded it up about 2 more inches, and ironed the stitch witch on in the fold!
