My BIG Christmas Project

Post by csusio » Thu Dec 11, 2008 5:42 am

I was asked by my church to make the backdrops for our Christmas program. It's called A Classic Christmas. So along with two other gals working, we cranked out all the red curtains in a day and a half! Amazed even me. Here are a few pictures of the finished project. The big curtain in the center is 30 feet tall and 60 feet wide. We used over 200 yards of 72" wide fabric. Glad it's done! Thank the Lord for all his help on this one!!
Merry Christmas,
Susi

Great job! I did the math and you worked with over a tenth of a mile of fabric. You probably didn't want to know that LOL! (Won't even go near the mileage of seams sewn!!)
