Habitat Restore Curtains & Ikea Duvet Cover turned Bed Skirt

Remember this curtain panel I found at the restore for $15 a couple weeks ago?  Well I'm happy to say my plan of splitting it into two, hemming, and using the extra fabric from the bottom to make 2 throw pillows ACTUALLY WORKED!  Woo hoo!

So here is how the panel looked when I bought it, super long with a huge piece of peach trim on one of the sides:

So first step was taking that off, and letting my handy helper play dress up with it the rest of the day:

Next was measuring the height I needed the curtains to be (plus about 2 inch hem), and cut off the extra fabric on the bottom.

I then cut the panel into two, hemmed all the sides, then dropped them off at the dry cleaners to have peace of mind that they are clean & pressed correctly.  These curtains are lined in white, and even have little weights in the bottom to help them hang perfectly.  VOILA!

Luckily the original panel had about a 6 inch hem at the bottom so I had plenty of fabric to work with for my envelope throw pillows.  (I washed the fabric before making these!) I just LOVE the chevron texture on this fabric!

The navy/white floral pillow above I also made!  A couple weeks ago I found a twin duvet cover from IKEA on sale for $5!  It came with a twin pillow case, so I took that fabric & made a throw pillow cover.  Next, I took the duvet cover, cut it into thirds and made a ruffled bed skirt.  So here is the before:

And here is the after:

A huge thanks to my mom & Nick for passing on the blue comforter & euro pillows to us!  We are loving this color scheme and even though I feel like it's taking forever,  I'm excited how this room is coming together!
