Well, I nearly didn't decide to make them. I opened the pattern when I got home and nearly had a heart attack. What in the heck is selvage? Why would you ever baste anything that you're not cooking? On top of that, the pattern only accomodates 48" windows, and I have one that is 70" wide. I set the pattern next to my machine and sulked off morosely to bed.
This morning, armed with Merriam Webster, my strong will, and basic knowledge of geometry, I figured out that I can not only sew the freakin' curtains, but I can modify the pattern to accomodate my larger windows. So tonight I'm headed back to the store to actually purchase the supplies to craft these bad boys.
Oh yeah - I also picked up a smokin' hot ski helmet at 50% off. It's white with silver flames and pink straps and accomodates earpads with headphones. Because I just can't spend 100% of my time trying to impersonate Martha Stewart.

And that's why I just buy curtains.
Cat - that's the wimp's way out, my friend. ;) Seriously, I think I'll have alot of fun with this once I'm comfortable with the jargon.
