I’ve been on a journey to make my own cafe curta I’ve been on a journey to make my own cafe curtains because I needed a little bit of softness and whimsy in my kitchen renovation and despite feeling very overwhelmed for a bit in the middle there I feel like these turned out so cute (if you aren’t tooo close)! 
Now I’m overconfident on the old sewing machine and who knows what this self proclaimed seamstress is going to make next.

If you were hoping for a dreamy tutorial on how to If you were hoping for a dreamy tutorial on how to make DIY cafe curtains for your kitchen… this isn’t it. But I diiiid figure it out as I went and I’m actually so proud of pulling this one off. I still might need to give these bad boys a steam but ugh the whimsy of it all!

I priced out some brass and some wood rods and they were all really thick curtain rods, they didn’t come in long enough sizes, or they were literally more than ONE THOUSAND dollars so I bought a dowel and grabbed some scrap wood and thought I’d just do it my damn self 🤷‍♀️ 
It took a few prototypes and honestly the brackets are still a bit rough but from afar they’re fine and it saved me so much money I’ll get over it. Plus hopefully the focus is going to be on the pretty wispy curtains I’m whipping up next so follow along to see if I can pull it off!
