Despite a brief stormy interlude without power and the "assistance "of Miss Meow I have finished today’s sewing project.
The curtain is for the doorway to my laundry, which is uninsulated and draughty and has just been closed off by an old blanket tacked in the opening for some years. At one stage it had a sliding door, but because there is not enough space next to the door to allow it to fully open it always partially blocked the doorway, and there is not really room for a hinged door there either. So a curtain seems the best solution, and also allows Mr Woof free access to the laundry, which is where his dog door is. The new curtain is thick woven fabric with a thermal lining so should keep the heat/cold out fairly well. It needs some weights in the bottom to sit more evenly, but I think I’ve done enough for one day.
I like it, especially the pelmet bit. You’re really quite handy aren’t you, with the gardening and preserving and making things… great skills to have. If the world goes to hell in a haycart I really hope there’s a place for you to subsist and live a simple but rewardingly self sufficient life. I’ll be on the outside with my machete and hunting knife at the ready, keeping to the shadows to avoid the petrol hunting raider gangs and zombie hoards.

Cut a hole at the right height and you’ve got yourself a gloryhole too. Great work.
