Kaylin's curtains are FINISHED! I finished them on Thursday and we bought a curtain rod and hung them up on Saturday. They block out so much light, it is amazing. I really hope they help Kaylin sleep in later in the morning, not that she gets up too early, but still. I'm also hoping they help with nap time. I'm also looking forward to the heat they should keep out this summer.
I used this tutorial. I made two panels, each twice the size of the one in the tutorial. The black out fabric wasn't too hard to work with. The hardest part was probably cutting everything because all of the pieces were so large. One new thing I learned was how to miter corners. I hadn't done that before and it was really easy.
After finishing the curtains I needed to make something I could actually finish in a short amount of time, so I made a hooded baby towel. Then on Friday I made a diaper and wipes pouch and most of my new nursing blanket. It felt good to get some projects completed.

Cute! I'm so jealous of your sewing skills - give me a straight line and I'm all over it, but anything more it's iffy :)
Those are so adorable! You've inspired me to make some for Logan's room. Hopefully they'll help with the naptime ;)
