Cute nursery curtains

I made some wonderful little curtains for the nursery - they are so adorable. I didn't really like any that I found online or in-store so I decided to sew them myself. A few years ago my mom-in-law gave me a pretty decent sewing machine which does the job quite well. So, I researched a few different fabric sites and ended up ordering the fabric from fabricworm.com. I was very pleased - they looked exactly as shown. And after 2 hours they were made. Here is a picture of the fabric I chose - by the way, this fabric is organic.

Be a smart shopper...

Having a baby is not a cheap experience as we all know. But there are ways how to save some big bugs. My best advise: do your research! Look out for sales; research coupons online on sites such as coupon cabin.com; know what return policies and shipping charges are; make sure that online prices are the same as in-store prices - they do differ sometimes so make sure that you get charged the lower price.

I made a mistake by ordering from a less well-known site to me called babyviva.com. I did not research their return policy and that cost me $60 in return shipping charges. Make sure that you order from a site that gives you free return shipping. Yes they are out there. Additionally I have been charged a restocking fee of $26. It all adds up! So please be an educated shopper.

Also, check out 'Consumer Reports' and make sure you can get a current copy of 'Baby Bargains' - both give good ratings and advise on anything baby.
