You and The Nester are changing my life! I have been a HUGE fan of hot glue "sewing" for a really long time and have already done my kitchen sink window and breakfast room French door. You guys have made it "cool" to do, so I'm gloating a little as I look at my own handiwork! I have been hemming (haha) and hawing about my two large breakfast room windows for ages. I have the fabrics, trims and even the stuff to make beautiful, fluffy, birdy tassels to hang from the bunched up middles. This is IT - the simple, yet beautiful solution I've been waiting for! Questions, though. You say to use TWO AND A HALF times your window width. Hmm. It doesn't look like 2 1/2 it looks like 1 ½ or 2 times at the most. Is it really 2 1/2? It seems like it would hang longer on the sides if it were. I can't railroad my print (the birdies in it would be laying down), so I will have to seam the middle which is really okay with this design but I really want to get this right before cutting.... I know you say to fold it so the selvages (fabric info edges) meet to double the fabric and make it finished on both sides. That seemed a little confusing at first, but I figured out what you meant. If I have to, I can actually pull out the ol’ machine and really sew the pieced areas if that will make the middle easier to work with. Answers? You are my hero!

But what I really wanted to comment on is this;

Going 'home' for me as an adult isn't really going 'home.'

It kind of breaks my heart because because I know someday that will be how my boys feel. They're 20 and 24 now but we're still in the house they grew up in, so they do 'come home'. We're hanging onto the big old house as long as we can just for that reason!

I found $2 yd fabric at Hobby Lobby and a super cheap rod from Ross. I love it! Thanks for posting such easy instructions. I just found your site and I made one of these on Saturday.
