On my thrifting adventures one of the things that I am always on the look out for is pretty fabric. It can be sheets, shams, curtains, whatever. Sheets work especially well because they’ re usually wider than most fabrics.
It was on one such adventure that I met up with Martha. Yes, Stewart.
I found this beautiful pair of curtains with a buttery yellow background and cabbage roses from the Martha Stewart collection. I didn’t have a plan for it then but it was definitely coming home with me. Then inspiration hit. An old room divider needed attention. (Ooops. Forgot to take a ‘Before” of the divider.)
This is where the benefit of recycling fabric comes in. There is always at least one hemmed edge that can be used. I sewed a seam on one end and used Velcro to create a pocket for the dowel to go through. It might be cheating but it sure saves time. A hem, seam and Velcro on the other end.
Recycling fabrics is a “good thing”.
This is furniture....'ish, right? At the risk of being banished, I'm linking up for Furniture Feature Friday and Sunday Showcase.

Very creative, clever and adorable!
Great screen! I really like the yellow.
Hi - great project. Wish you had a before pic - but I can imagine what it looked like. I had trouble (and still do every now and again with taking before pics) but with my iphone it's automatic for me now (well...pretty much).
Love the fabirc - it's so vintage looking and lovely!

The room divider is gorgeous, and your fabric choice is perfection! Nothing wrong with using Velcro. I've "cheated" with it on more than one occasion!
This room divider is looking so nice.
Love the fabric! I would put this in my home in a heartbeat!
Do you by any chance know what Martha Stewart line those curtains are from?
