Project for today: create zebra striped curtains for the girls' room.
Emma and Claire share a room. It's a pretty big room, and they are okay with sharing most of the time, but over the past year they both felt the need for some personal space. Emma chose the area under her loft bed, and Claire claimed one of the dormers. They both spent a lot of time decorating their secret hideout. Here is how it looked before the curtains:

Well, even after all of their "special stuff" was moved in, their hideouts still lacked privacy.
Curtains were a necessity. We purchased a set of zebra striped twin sheets at Target and got out the trusty old sewing machine. I am NO seamstress, but I can sew a straight line, which is luckily all you need to do for this project. A few straight seams and two tension rods later and, voila, two happy girls!
Now they have their own private hideaway to escape from our usual family chaos!
