diy fail

so i attempted some no sew curtains. because im impatient. and because my seamstress lives an hour away and is back to her real job. and because im impatient. so i found a tutorial online (found here) for some no sew/fixed roman shades not too difficult right? riiiiiiiiiight

my goal was to look like this:

i followed the directions. i swear i did. and i came out with this:

enter the wah wah sounds please. fail. but have no fear. i attempted to fix it with some more stitch witchery stuff its like fabric glue but it comes in strips and you iron to activate. yah, that didnt work either. fail x2. and then i tried some straight up fabric glue. enter a win.

please dont mind the bad lighting or the large cutting board. i was a bit lazy. its not 100% perfect. but im ok with that. it adds a bit of color to our kitchen and hides some holes im also too lazy to patch. :) what can i say. oh well. so what started out as an easy project turned out to be a bit more time consuming and frustrating, but mission accomplished.
