Project

I must confess...I've been coveting the coffee sacks that have been sitting the back room at the coffee shop. 
I love them. They are so rustic and authentic and coffee-y.
So my fav boss, Joan, said yesterday that she had put 2 back for me.  YIPPEE!
I would imagine that if you had a desire for coffee sack, a local roaster or coffee shop would sell you a few.  Not sure how much they would run you, but probably not much!
So, I had a few things in mind for them so as soon as we got done schooling yesterday I set to work.
First order of business, nail one to the wall. Very difficult, I know.  I couldn't decide which way to put it up and I think I may change my mind.
Side 1.

 
Side 2.  Crummy picture.  I think I like the other side better...

I wanted to use the other sack for curtains in my kitchen. I picked this sack cause I super liked the stripe through it

So after some measuring of windows and the sack, I decided that I would pull the seams out of the sides and make a new seam along the width to put the curtain rod through.  Worked out beautifully, although got a little messy with the fibers getting all over. 

I used the twine that I pulled from the sides to make my seam across the width. 

Instead of stitching all the way across, I figured I could just put a few stitches every 5-6 inches and that would be sufficient.  I like taking short cuts!
So that's what I did.  I made the seam about 2 inches wide, which was pretty snug putting my rod in.  I would make it 3+ inches wide if I did it again.
And the finished product...

Oh, coffee love!!
