Oh Alla, the curtain are beautiful, you did a great job! It touched my heart seeing your Mom reading aloud, and taking care of Cherie!! And Sergi bringing you a lovely snack!❣❣❣
I started sewing on an old Singer treadle machine and when I got a new electric sewing machine it freaked me out. I spent hours on it till I figured it out and really quite liked it. Yes, perfect on a rainy day. How sweet Mum reading out loud ❤ Your Curtains are perfect the fabrics are lovely together 🤩
Hi Alla, the finished bedroom looks fabulous, all the colours and patterns work so well together, even Cherie matches the colour scheme. Can’t wait to see the next bedroom xx
Bless your Mum she is a honey and I love how she is reading to you while you sew. Even Cherie is being spoilt and just loves the love she gives her. Well done your garden is looking amazing.
These are “the good old days.” When you look back on your mama’s visit you will remember her sweet voice reading aloud to you and Cherie. That dog! She is as sweet a human companion as I have known. She accepts every situation and finds her place among you. Sergi will remember your using this beautiful new gift machine to create a perfect bedroom for you both to enjoy. I love the curtains as they are, but you could still embellish in many ways. I still have my first sewing machine that was my grandmother’s. It is a Singer foot treadle from 1904. She cut off the drawers of the cabinet so it would fit into a tiny room in the 1940’s. It is the best. But I do have a new one Clint bought me when our first daughter was born. I’ve made many curtains since then. You will learn how to thread and wind bobbins very quickly. The fabrics are truly made for each other. That new satin weave is exquisite. Hugs to your darling mama. The scene of you two sewing and reading in the kitchen and Cherie loving every minute will stay in my heart. ❤️
Hi Allan,patience with your sewing machine in time it will be your best friend.the cotton stick I think pulls up to make it taller,also you will find that the bobbin has a tiny hole in the top to put your cotton so when you wind it it doesn't come undone,Sergio has got you a wonderful present he's a great husband
I chuckled when I saw the title of your video, a canapé is an appetiser and the thought if you sewing bite size pieces of food was amusing. The word you should have used was canopy . The curtains and your scarf are lovely 😍
The canopy is very nice. I would put a middle piece with edge that mimics lines of headboard upside-down with fringe or pom poms. Also, i think taller lamps would frame the bed better. The little ones seem to get lost on the end tables. The shades of larger lamps can have same fringe or pom poms from canopy on edge of shades to tie it all together. You can also hang a picture with a braided cord in the middle of the canopy underneath the middle piece to make it richer looking. Just some ideas thrown your way.
My mum did the same and bought me a fancy sewing machine. I learnt to sew on a treadle machine so the new one doesn’t get used much 😊 can’t work out the tension The curtains are lovely just as they are.
It is beautiful Alla, i hope you ignored negative comments because what you and Sergio have done is absolutely amazing. I totally enjoy watching your channel. Don't forget to have fun along the way. Enjoy your visit with your beautiful mum❤
EXQUISITE!!!! A beautiful rainy afternoon on the lake,...... your mom reading, you creating and Sergei taking care of you both ❤ The valance may help to connect both sides of the curtains and really create a nice framed, cozy backdrop, would be sure to gather the fabric of the valance for some fullness...
So good that your Mum was reading aloud for you. It's fascinating that all through the Roman period everyone who could read, did so aloud. Not until AD400 when a Monk, Ambrose, was seen reading without speaking. Which was astonishing. Now we see reading aloud as the rarity. But talking books are changing that too.
I hope your Mom gets to visit for a long while. She is so.helpful and sweet. I had my Mom until she was 100 such a blessing. You are such a hard worker, Inspires me to get moving more.
The canopy is fantastic. It doesn’t need a thing❤ You can learn a lot about your machine on UA-cam. Mine came with so many feet, I had no idea what they were for.
Hi Alla & Sergei,mama too ! great job sewing the drapes,they look great Alla 👌 I do think, they could look more amazing, if you pull them across the top a little more , then you’ll see the stripes more clearly 🥰
The bed curtains are lovely. The crown does need more fabric across the top. You can use your artist eye to see it needs “weight” at the top to balance the whole look. (Doesn’t need to be too long.) I like to read in bed and the little lights would drive me mad. But as I looked at them in place, and because you love them, they are the right choice!
Adding the valance of the same fabric (if you have any leftover material) to the modified bed crown will add even more coziness…..just be sure you double the length to achieve the fullness from one side of the wooden top to the other side. Great to see mother and daughter working on this great project together!💕
Oh Alla, the curtain are beautiful, you did a great job! It touched my heart seeing your Mom reading aloud, and taking care of Cherie!! And Sergi bringing you a lovely snack!❣❣❣
Absolutely stunning job. The fabric is perfecto!
Well done. The curtains are beautiful 😻
The curtains are perfect as they are. Marvellous job.
You have such a wonderful eye for mixing fabrics together!
Perfect day - to do inside projects - curtains - eating - watching Cherie - your mum reading - and sergi - bringing you a snack !!!!
You both did a beautiful job making those curtains🌷🌷

Cherie is so adorable. The curtains are beautiful. Your mom is so cute. Looks like she is having a wonderful time.
Oh my, I think it looks gorgeous just as it is without any more detail. Beautiful job, it’s all come together perfectly with the mix of fabrics.
Beautiful Alla the curtains compliment the headboard of the bed.Amoung your talents I had no idea you are also a seamstress,Bravo.
Delightful . Cherie . There's no one like a loving mum . 💜💜 God bless .
Such a lovely cozy, productive day. The canopy finishes everything off beautifully. Well done😊👏
The bed curtains turned out beautifully! You are brave to use the new sewing machine on such an impressive project… Great job!
Chere is loving her time with her “Nana” ❤
The bed canopy looks like it was there from the very beginning…authentic. Elegant. Well done!
Lovely bed curtains ❤❤
Oops - exciting - with a "c". Just love your channel. You two are amazing; such a facility for language and adaptation, not to speak of, talent.
You have done a great job. Cherie steals the show every time.
wow you and your mum make a geeat team not forgetting sergie. the curtains look fantastic and goes so well with the wall fabrics.
Hi Alla, the finished bedroom looks fabulous, all the colours and patterns work so well together, even Cherie matches the colour scheme. Can’t wait to see the next bedroom xx
I am missing the wall lights. I think they could be good. The lamps on the bedside cabinets look a bit lost to me.
Those colors are so rich and beautiful! Everything works so well with each other and everything else in the room! Well done! ❤️😊
You proved me wrong. I had so many doubts about those fabrics, but the outer panel with the sheen to it has brought it to life. Well done
Bless your Mum she is a honey and I love how she is reading to you while you sew. Even Cherie is being spoilt and just loves the love she gives her. Well done your garden is looking amazing.
Superb!
Look at Cherie, listening to your Mom read out loud.. precious.
Love the way cherie listens to the story telling by granny. Granny grooming the granchild can see she is relaxed and loving it.
Gorgeous success Alla and Mama ❤
Cherie listening to Grandma the bedtime stories, very attentive 😂❤

So nice that your momma can help you in ironing. The fabrics are pretty!

All of the stripes complement each other beautifully.
Loved hearing your mom reading in language! Not that I understand but it was lovely!😊
I don’t know who loves the room more, me or Cherie. The canopy finishes it off beautifully, perfect indeed, well done again
I chuckled when I saw the title of your video, a canapé is an appetiser and the thought if you sewing bite size pieces of food was amusing. The word you should have used was canopy . The curtains and your scarf are lovely 😍
You have a good eye for design and are lucky to have your wonderful mother there to help.
I do think you should add a valence to the canopy , it would tie it all together.
The bedroom looks beautiful! Well done everyone!
Cheri is loving her Grandma reading to her. ❤
The canopy drapes are beautiful you did well matching all the different textures 👏👏
The canopy is very nice. I would put a middle piece with edge that mimics lines of headboard upside-down with fringe or pom poms. Also, i think taller lamps would frame the bed better.

Such a sweet picture at the start of the vlog. Of you and your mom, enjoy every minute you have with her. Can't she come and live with you in Italy?
I absolutely love the canopy exactly like it is. So lovely!🥰
Nice job. Once you get the hang of the sewing machine, you will love it.
Cherish those sweet times with your Mum! Making great memories and doing projects together is more fun! Enjoy 💕
My mum did the same and bought me a fancy sewing machine. I learnt to sew on a treadle machine so the new one doesn’t get used much 😊 can’t work out the tension
The curtains are lovely just as they are.
I think the canopy should have some more depth ( so further away from the wall). Love the hangings and as you suggested hanging the little curtains.
The curtains turned put perfect. I love the mirrors in the hall too😊
I would like to see the curtains made wider and some tasseled braid put on the edges. I love that bed.
It is beautiful Alla, i hope you ignored negative comments because what you and Sergio have done is absolutely amazing. I totally enjoy watching your channel. Don't forget to have fun along the way. Enjoy your visit with your beautiful mum❤
Wow, your bedroom looks so cozy. Just perfect❤
I think the bed curtain is lovely and no need to add more. Great job sewing and adjusting to your new machine.😊
Yes, add the valance to the canopy. It will help to finish the look.
EXQUISITE!!!! A beautiful rainy afternoon on the lake,...... your mom reading, you creating and Sergei taking care of you both ❤ The valance may help to connect both sides of the curtains and really create a nice framed, cozy backdrop, would be sure to gather the fabric of the valance for some fullness...
It’s perfect just like that !
Congratulations!!!! Sewing is such a helpful skill when renovating a house. :)
Alla the canopy looks lovely i think it does need a bit of gold embellishment across front of canopy Mum is lovely as ever ❤
So good that your Mum was reading aloud for you. It's fascinating that all through the Roman period everyone who could read, did so aloud. Not until AD400 when a Monk, Ambrose, was seen reading without speaking. Which was astonishing. Now we see reading aloud as the rarity.
But talking books are changing that too.
Absolutely Gorgeous!
Great job Team ❤
The stick for your thread can be pulled up, might be tight at first as its new. great job on the canapy
Omg CHERIE!
Oh, Alla, you did very well. The curtains are beautiful. Put a wood design in the middle on top.❤❤❤
Ciao Alla and Mom, the canopy is perfect. You did an amazing job on the room. "Perfetto", Amore da N.Y.
Omigosh Cherie getting brushed is everything ♥️🫶🏼
That is a very simple version of a brother machine. The manual is very easy to follow. If you read it you will learn very fast. ❤
I really like the timber pelmet, it brjngs out the timber in the bed etc. I think there's enough fabric on the walls & the curtains, well done.
I hope your Mom gets to visit for a long while. She is so.helpful and sweet. I had my Mom until she was 100 such a blessing. You are such a hard worker, Inspires me to get moving more.
Alla, just beautiful! The family together is heartwarming…..enjoy every moment 💕
Ahh wee Cherrie is adorable ❤
The bedroom loves lovely. You have done well on your first try with a sewing machine. It will get easier as you use it more. ❤
The canopy is fantastic. It doesn’t need a thing❤ You can learn a lot about your machine on UA-cam. Mine came with so many feet, I had no idea what they were for.
Check if the cotton spool holder can be pulled up.
Es bonito ver a madre, hija y nieta 🐕
Hi Alla & Sergei,mama too ! great job sewing the drapes,they look great Alla 👌 I do think, they could look more amazing, if you pull them across the top a little more , then you’ll see the stripes more clearly 🥰
Gorgeous!
Your Mama is so cute! I love her energy. I love her reading to you and Cherie.
Отлично получилось, уютная комната!
Cherrie approves,,then it must be perfect! Well done!! 🎉🎉❤
Well done, they look beautiful 💕
Absolutely stunning ! You are so talented in so many ways !! ❤
Every sewing machine seems to be different. I wish I had my old machine back. My mother had a treadle Singer which she loved.
The bed curtains are lovely. The crown does need more fabric across the top. You can use your artist eye to see it needs “weight” at the top to balance the whole look. (Doesn’t need to be too
long.) I like to read in bed and the little lights would drive me mad. But as I looked at them in place, and because you love them, they are the right choice!
Love the garden & the canape, sweet.
That turned out so nice!
Omg!!!! They look Amazing clever girl!!
And your mum reading to you so beautiful ❤❤
It's so beautiful! Looks like a Plaza Hotel suite ❤
Excellent job. It looks amazing.
Add the valance to complete the look. 😍
Buy the matching footboard, cut it off and fix it (upside down) to the top wood over the bed....
Looks very elegant!
Great job Alla 😍
Wow! Very nice❣️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing job, you can do anything you set your mind to! well done
the metal rod the spool of thread sits on can be raised up to fit a taller spool of thread
Adding the valance of the same fabric (if you have any leftover material) to the modified bed crown will add even more coziness…..just be sure you double the length to achieve the fullness from one side of the wooden top to the other side. Great to see mother and daughter working on this great project together!💕
I also prefer my mum's old Singer sewing machine to my modern one.
It is absolutely beautiful!
The bed embrasure looks wonderful. Another word for loosely putting fabric together is to tack the pieces together.
Alla, I think I would add a ruffle at the top of the curtain crown, if you don't like how it looks you can always take it down. Kathy USA 🇺🇸
Beautifully done.
It's beautiful
