@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 Meeee toooo! Keep up the wonderful wee work! 💝
Those trims on the cornices really transform them. You always elevate with little details ❤❤❤
Thank you! I truly respect the power of small details!
My childhood bedroom had sheer curtains and a pull down blind. Glorious! They felt pretty fancy to me as a child
They had ruffles along the inside and bottom edge and were almost always tied back.
Yours with the lovely floral accent are wonderful. And I love that delicate print you covered the cornice with
I'm so glad this brought back a pleasant childhood memory! Thank you for much for sharing this story!
The girls are going to love those curtains.. they look absolutely beautiful… so pretty.. 🥰
Thank You I really think they brought the room up a couple notches!! It really softened the look of the room from childish to "GIRLY"! THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE!😊💖
They turned out so so pretty.
Thank you Shelley!!!
Gretchen, you never cease to amaze me! The curtains are adorable, and I love the little girls room, can't wait to see the finished room! ❤❤❤
Thank you Debbie! I do need to show the room without toys and kids all over everything! lolololol!!! Thank you for allowing me to share!
That is really beautiful lace and it made lovely curtains!
Thank you Suzanne!
I Really like it even more than i imagined!!!
Those curtains are so stunning and perfect for the girls’ room! Beautiful! That taupe trim really brought out the curves as well as rather calico fabric as well! The lace fabric is gorgeous too! You are so very talented in both construction and visual design!
Today I worked in my 1:12 dollhouse. It seemed so “big” after having been working for quite a while in my 1:16 house! I worked on the children’s play room - it was such fun! I was able to use some leftover 1:16 kitchen pieces - frig and stove and dishes - to be the children’s “play kitchen” in the 1:12 house! Win/win! I could have arranged and puttered all day!
Thanks for another fabulous video! Always so inspiring and instructive! Hugs, Kathleen
Thank you So much!!!That sounds so cute "kitchen play set in the Dollhouse"! i loved pretend cooking and playing House!
They look gorgeous, you did a lovely job! Thank you for sharing as always! ❤❤😊
Thank you Suzanne! 😊I appreciate you for watching!
Hello Gretchen, absolutely lovely..beautiful little girls room, blinds looking so good..love from UK 🇬🇧
Thank you Kat!! I am having So much Fun!!! Thank you for watching!!
Your choices for these curtains are absolutely LOVELY! I agree with you about synthetic fabrics, but there are times when making an axception is the correcct way to go. Brava!!!
Thank you! Robin!!! Yes that synthetic fabric was not as agreeable as cotton but the result was worth the headache! LOLOLOL!!!
Gorgeous window treatments! Love everything about them and thank you for the excellent step by step instructions.You’re the best!
Thank you Ellen!!! I appreciate your feedback!! Thank you for allowing me to share!
I love that calico!! Came out beautifully
Thank you!! I LOVE CALICO PRINTS! To me it's so subtle, I forget it's print! lt coordinates well with the wallpaper and sheers! Thank you for being here!

Thank you! 😊
Hey I'm the first person to see this! Looks beautiful love the colours
Yay! JILLIA N!!! Thank you! I really love the soft delicate feeling the sheer curtains give the room!!Thank you for being here!!!
"JILLIAN."".. sorry I'm typing to fast! LOLOLOL!
I love the curtains. And I really like that taupe trim and beautiful embroidered lace. And I'm always happy to see a new video from Little Gretchen!
Thank you so much Mary! i am truly grateful to have this place to share! I appreciate you for being here and allowing me to share with you!
They're perfect!!! I just love that combination of pale pink and beige/brown, which you pick up with the ribbon going along the wall, too. It's such a pretty, delicate blend. I have the same dilemma--polyester is not good in so many ways, but sometimes they make it soo pretty! The design on the sheer curtains is divine!! ♀️🤎♀️🤎♀️
Thank you Sienna Flower! I am really happy with the result! It looks so soft a delicate! Just the way a little girls room should look! I appreciate you for watching!!
Hello my friend!!! I'm so excited for you and all the progress you're making in EGT (excessive glue therapy)!!! LOL 😂 Growth in any area is painful, but always beneficial❤️!! The curtains are so sweet and a beautiful addition to their room. I love that you've properly 'dressed' the windows! Windows are supposed to be dressed a certain way, and my grandmother always said that way is similar to how a woman dresses. I'll explain... The first layer is the intimates, the clothing that covers the delicate areas. For a window that would be the pulldown shade next to the glass. Next the slip, the garment that smooths the top layer allowing it to drape properly. For a window, that layer is the transparent or lace panel that lets the outer panels hang and flow freely. Lastly, there is the garment itself. The piece that fits, flows, and moves with the body, properly accentuating the figure. For a window, this would be the panels meant to accentuate and show off the beauty of the room. Now just as a lady isn't always in the mood to be stuffed and trussed, it isn't always necessary to fluff up a window. Your window dressing is the perfect example of a classy, dress down style! I'm so looking forward to this year in mini's, new friendships, and new UA-cam channel! I believe that this is the year of upward mobility, positive change, and incredible collaboration!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You're a warm, glowing light and an inspiring voice for so many!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
YES YES YES HELLO!!!! I totally Love the description your Grandmother used to describe ladies clothing layers! She Sounds Like My Grandmother! SHE was SO SERIOUS ABOUT BEING AND DRESSING LIKE A PROPER LADY!!! I LOVE IT! Although I am not as "starched" as I was raised but i truly appreciate the training because it often comes it quite handy and is quite useful!! LOLOOLOL!! I am So excited about 2024! I am so happy about you starting you channel as well!! Congratulations!
Hello Gretchen, they are beautiful, I love lace curtains, the pelmets are perfect, the fabric and trims really compliment the lace and embroidery, the little girls room is so pretty 😍 you always make such lovely curtains, I'm looking forward to your next video,
Best wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧 😊
Thank You Diane! I am really happy about how they turned out 😊! I had been putting this project off for so long! 🤭 I'm glad to see it completed and looking Pretty! Thank you for watching! ❤️💖❤️
Those are Beautiful ❤❤
Thanks Teresa!!
They are so beautiful, what lovely fabric you had for this room. I bet the little girls are going to love their bedroom. 😊
Thank you I really like the way it turned out! I do believe they do love it!
These curtains are absolutely gorgeous. All this restraint with glue application and measuring is making me glad I'm sitting down LOL But yes, sometimes less is more. I never thought of using a pair of scissors to trim like that. I usually fight with either trying to cut the fabric to match and then struggle to apply it or cut a million notches to curl the fabric around complicated edges. The urge to throw it across the room is a thing. The trim you used was perfect! Thank you for all the great tips and ideas.
Thank you Rachael!! YES! the urge to throw things across the room is REAL!!! I usually experience that when I'm making perfume bottles with tiny beads! I'm so excited to have that room at this stage of completeness. Thank you for allowing me to share!
Those curtains turned out beautifully, well done hon. Take care and thank you for sharing them 😍😂❤️
THANK YOU CHRIS!!💖💖💖
Love how the trim on the cornices came out!
Thank you Virginia! I was really pleased by how they turned out too!!I was really glad to get those curtains up. I've been needing to do that for a year!🤭💖💖💖
Awwww Gretchen, those are so beautiful.
Thank you!!! I always wanted a room that looked like this!!!
You are welcome. That is definitely a room that any little girl would Love!😍
How beautiful 🤩
Thank you AMY!!!!
How lovely! 🥰 I love how the trim on the cornices complements the trim on the hem of the curtains. You are doing great with your glue restraint! I felt a little called out about gluing just one section at a time, though. I definitely put glue on the whole piece, then have to add more glue to the first section because it's dried. 😬 I should find a local glue therapist to help me! 😄
LOLOLOLOLOL!!! Thank you for noticing my efforts in restraint!!! No lololol! i didn't know i was calling you out! I was talking about me! Lololol! I guess it was a case of Ouch or Amen!!! LOLOOOLOL!!!
The color coordination is Pure Little Gretchen. I really love seeing colors through your lens. My sweet friend, you are such an artist. You are also making huge leaps in your glue usage 😂 I am so proud! xx
Thank you so much for noticing! I Love that " color coordination is Pure Little Gretchen". LOLOLOL!!! I appreciate you for noticing!!!
Ooh yes Gretchen they are beeeaaauutiful, I absolutely love that type of lace you’ve used, and what we call a pelmet the fabric you covered it with is so pretty too, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Yes Julie! Thank you!
Such a sweet lil room you’ve created! Love your videos and thank god I’m not the only one measuring with an eye and a half 😂 🫶🏼 thank you for sharing 🧚🏼💫
Yay! Thank you! I 'm so glad you like them! Yes trying to discipline myself a little bit! Old habits die hard!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!
Aw man you got me all excited when you said there was unfinished business in the dollhouse. Here I was pulling up my chair ready for some juicy dollhouse gossip! But nope you got us making fancy curtains for the girls room instead lol. I hope those dolls said thank you for making their room so pretty for them
Yes. I am really into the dolls story too. You are a fellow Scot arent you?
@@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws only 1/4 Scot thanks to my Granny from Aberdeen, but the rest of me is very much a Kiwi lol
LOLOLOOLOLOL! JUICY DOLLHOUSE GOSSIP!!! YOU are The FUNNIEST!!! Yes the Little Girls were very Grateful and are enjoying their completed room!!!
Those turned out amazing! Really enjoyed watching your process.
Thanks so much! 😊I really like the result it was better than I imagined! LOLOLOL!! Thank you for watching and allowing me to share!!
Gorgeous! I love the taupe trim, although you could have painted it pink if you really wanted a different color. I've painted thread, trim, and fabric for minis. You can even seal it to bring some shine back.
Hey Shyra!!! Thank you! Yes that is a Great suggestion!! I came to the conclusion that I really wanted the colors to be really muted and subtle. Mixing colors to create "PlNKS" can be Tricky if the shade is not just right! The pale pink velvet ribbon w' taupe trim along the scalloped edge of the cornice allowed the pink flowers on the sheers to be center stage!I l appreciate the suggestion!!!
Hi Gretchen love them love the beautiful material TFS.💕
Glad you like them! Thank you Carmen!!!
They turned out very nice great job
Thanks Rosalie!!
These curtains and cornices are spectacular!! You’re doing so well with your new discipline as to measuring and gluing!! Do you find that using a tool to apply the glue is helpful? I usually use my fingers, and end up with sticky fingers!!😂❤️
Thank you for noticing Nancy!!!Yes I do, using a tool to apply glue is really helpful. But now I have to be careful not to squeeze out too much to use or it will dry up quickly!LOLOLOL!!! I end up with messy hands regardless! LOLOLOL!!!
What a coincidence. I just made curtains from a bunch of synthetic material-velvet, no less. And I found out something really great. When I went to glue these things to the wood, I used contact adhesive (aka contact cement) like E6000 or (better brand in my opinion) Gorilla contact adhesive. You have to be patient and let it set. But it is rock solid when it does. I could not pull this material off on an experimental piece I did first. And, this adhesive does not bleed through. You can't use it to make pleats, but for adhering synthetics to things, it is amazing. But I am trying out this aluminum tape as a new way to make pleats because I cannot stand the glue method. So messy and sometimes the glue shows. Uck. You are a braver man than I gunga din. It all looks great.
Gretchen, the cornices and curtains are really beautiful. I have some purple sheer fabric like this and I am looking at it in a whole new way.
Thank You!!! OH YES SHEER PURPLE 💜 THAT SOUNDS PRETTY! PURPLE IS MY FAVORITE COLOR! YOU DOLLHOUSE IS MORE MODERN SO THAT WOULD LOOK GOOD! ☺️💖
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665, Awww...thank you and you're welcome! When I get to the bedroom I thought I would use it there. The Dollhouse is dedicated to my Mother who passed a year ago and purple was her favorite color too.
I'm suffering from idea overload on my current project. It's great to have ideas but it's slowing me down because I keep changing my original plan 🤣 I love the trim you used on the cornices! Beautiful outcome AS ALWAYS 😍✨
Thank Dot! I'm having Waaaaaay too much Fun!!! That happens to me all the time. But i stop and make dump everything out of my head by writing it down! Then i look at it to see if I see a pattern. Then I make playlist based on similarity. This keeps me from being afraid of forgetting! LOLOOOLOL!!
That lace net is to die for! You're right, normally synthetic fabrics are not good for miniature work, but I think those curtains are exquisite. What lucky little girls! And that beige trim on the valances turned out perfect. Are there beds all ready for that room or are we going to be treated to a wonderful journey into little girls' room decorating😃?
Thank You Terri l am really tickled about the way those curtains turned out. I may actually consider sheers again 🤭. Yes l made beds for the girls room when my channel 1st started. That's why it's funny that I'm just now making the curtains 🤣😂🤣. GIRLS Beds are under my trash to treasure videos. 💖💖💖
I absolutely love the curtain material, so pretty and elegant. Where did you get the wood part for the curtains, they were so cute.
Thanks Donna! i found them in a miniature craft lot on Ebay! search dollhouse lots.
I loved the fabrics you use on this one sooo pretty 💕💕💕I’m trying to watch all the videos I missed . After the Christmas nutty ness I got the flu so I’ve been trying to catch up. 🤣🤣😂😂
Thank you Grace! So glad you are feeling better take you time and enjoy! Alot has happened since Christmas! Thank you for being here!
WOW amazing ❤❤❤❤
THANK YOU 😀💖💖💖!!!
Nice
These cornice boxes are great! I love the wallpaper too. Do you have a source for that? Thanks for your great work and tips!
HI HOPE! THANK YOU FOR WATCHING! The Wallpaper came from Minimum World and the cornices I got in a dollhouse lot on eBay. I appreciate you for allowing me to share ☺️!
Beautiful result! How did you mount them to the wall?
Thank you! I attached them directly to the wall with tacky glue!
Are the cornices glued to the wall?
Yes! I used tacky glue and glued them directly to the wall! I have no intention of removing them!😃 Thank you for asking!
No uneccesary use of glue??? Is this our Little Gretchen talking?
I KNOW RIGHT 😆🤣😂🤣! I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE THE WORDS COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH!🤭💖
Don't waste glue? Who are you and what have you done with the REAL Gretchen???? Seriously though, great curtains, and cornice. The girls are so lucky to have them. When I worked in home dec, we used to make cornices with the top of the box covered in white lining....nowadays I don't worry about using too much fabric, I will NEVER run out!
I know right sometime I really amaze myself when I talk about being sparing with glue! But I'm really impressed with how much need are my projects are turning out in lieu of it!!!!💖😄💖💖💖💖
So pretty!
Thank you!!!
