U hooked

There was a little job I wanted to redo this week, our curtain up at the front door had broken away from some of the curtain hooks. It hadn’t surprised me, as the curtain is really heavy, and I’d used plastic hooks with wooden rings. It was just not a strong combination. I’d bought some metal rings, metal curtain hooks and a metal ‘U’ hook to fix onto the curtain tape to strengthen the whole fixing.

I started by sewing on the ‘U’ hooks.

Brian then helped me hook in the curtain rings and attach them back up onto the pole.

We are super pleased in how much stronger everything is, and how much easier it is now to pull the curtain across. It saves a lot of drafts this time of year.
