I was messing around a bit on YouTube when I came up with the idea of ​​creating my own channel. It was not intended to be something professional, but on the contrary, a decoration channel for people like me, amateurs, but without enough time or preparation to do ‘great works’. In the videos I would try to show my own learning, sharing ideas and processes with other people like me.

And the first content I uploaded was related to some curtains that I wanted to make myself. Of course it’s easier to buy them ready-made and just put them up, but I really enjoy this type of challenge. Since I was little I always liked manual work that had to do with fabrics. I remember doing a project at school, with other friends, which consisted of preparing a fashion firm. It was there that I began to show an interest in fabrics.

But, although I wasn’t bad at it, I later took my professional career along completely different paths and each time I had less time to dedicate to this passion. Now that I have recovered a bit of my free time I have got down to work with my old passion, starting with the curtains in the living room.

The first thing I usually do with one of these projects is to order all the material myself, including in this case a purchase from a distributor of cord with lead/zinc, a type of braided polyester cord widely used in curtains for its good drape thanks to weight. I love this phase of the project, the selection of material and fabrics. Surely other people just see some curtains, but I pay attention to every detail to the point of knowing how to distinguish one fabric from another just by touch.

And this is one of the things I pay a lot of attention to in my videos. Instead of only teaching how to make and hang some curtains, I show different patterns and explain the characteristics of each fabric, like the one I acquired in this case from the distributor of Cord with lead / zinc so that my followers are also interested in these facets and have more possibilities. when making your own projects.
