Loft Closet Curtains

Even before we put memory foam over top the mattress in the loft, getting things out of the closet up there was difficult.  Try learning across a bed crammed into a space with about 4 feet of height, while standing on a wobbly metal ladder (or better yet, leaning across the bed with your legs suspended in midair) and digging things from a small closet. Then add a couple inches of memory foam on top of the nasty little RV-stock mattress, which lifted the height of the mattress to the point of making the closet doors difficult to open.

So I had my husband pull the doors off.  He stowed them on their sides inside the closet.

This is after the closet doors were pulled off and stowed inside.
And I made little curtains for each opening, each on a tiny curtain, with the hardware mounted inside each opening.
Ta Da!  Curtains!
With the curtains, it is easier to access items in the closet.  I can just push my hand through and grab things.  I no longer have to muscle the mattress downwards while trying to pull the door outwards to me. I don't have to be laying on the bed facing the closet to get to the items inside. I can learn across the bed from the ladder to the loft for most things, without my legs suspended outwards in midair.

The denim rag quilt in the picture was recently finished. It lies on top of the loft mattress and memory foam.

I love the "nesting" I am doing,  of taking this RV, Magnus Agnes, as we call her, and changing all these little things to make her more livable for us.

T-Shirt quilt - University of Maryland Theme

 T-Shirt quilt I made for my daughter with her University of Maryland era T-shirts. I loved doing machine quilting on this and had fun going...
