My largest sewing project - ice rink stage and side curtain

[Mary]

About 2009 I made a 2nd stage curtain for an ice skating rink that was going to be putting on "Nutcracker on Ice". It was 150 yards of mildew resistant blue fabric.

There was also a growing Christmas tree that was green on the opening scene and then white when they were in the snow land. Below is the tree and half of the stage curtain.

I came across a photo of the other half of the stage curtain and the extension to cover the side area also.

The full curtain. It is 14ft 2 inches from hem to top.

Wow, Mary. How long does it take to make it, and did you have a helper while sewing to move all that fabric around?

I love to sew different designs of African dresses in the African Ankara fabric or lace for myself family and friends when time permits me.

That is very nice. Do you order from Africa or from a source online?

Hi @Kafayat Oyeniyi, can you tell me more about the African garments and fabrics? I have seen a few doll outfits made out of what seemed to be African style fabrics.
