Some of you may know that I took a sewing course. I still have two more courses, and many hours of self-study, before I feel comfortable to take on a large-scale project. However, I’m becoming antsy. My goal has been to make curtains and I love these.

Yellow was my favorite color as a child and something about these make my heart soar. I find them so cheerful and wonderfully lovely. I’m assuming they’re silk. Can anyone else give a better description of their dreamy fabric origins? They may become my first project. Well, my first sewing project.
I remember you used to have all Sunflower and yellow stuff in your room. I can ask mom about these curtains. She’s a master seamstress! Makes her own curtains all the time…
Thankfully my taste has evolved from my overload of sunflowers. It was on the verge of ridiculous, I even grew some sunflowers by the side of the house and wore Sunflowers perfume. That said, I was past ridiculous.
If you don’t mind asking your mother, I’d love to have her opinion. I did not know your mother was a master seamstress but that does not surprise me in the least. I am not at all near the mediocre status on the seamstress scale.
First of all, good song in the title.
Secondly, I’m glad your favorite color transitioned from yellow to orange. Yellow makes people uncomfortable. So, if you have a guest room, don’t paint it yellow. If you have a child with a terminal illness and feel like you should paint her room yellow to cheer her up. You’re wrong.
Lastly, I, too wanted to be obsessed with the sunflower. When moving to the bedroom I would have for middle and high school I chose sunflowers for the decor. Mother quickly told me it wasn’t allowed. In fact, I could either go Waverly (the only linen I had ever had in my bedroom since retiring my Beatrix Potter nursery suit) or “Princess” by Croscill. I went with Croscill. If I see it now I was to vomit rainbows that giggle.
