Resulting in the clothespin solution every morning. So! We need to replace the jute twine with something sturdier.
Since I had to take the whole thing apart anyway, I bought a scrap of leather (only one dollar at Oregon Leather Company!) to replace the very twisty fabric ties. Here is one of the ties cut.
My trusty curtain/shade book told me to make a hole in the leather with an awl. I had no awl, so I used my drill. It worked pretty well. And that's as far I as I got with that project today.
I moved on to measuring the curtains. These are purchased curtains, which I plan to modify to suit me.

Nice! Making progress. What's going on with Out & About? No comment ability yest.
I can already tell that the leather ties are going to be snazzy. How did you drill a hole in it without drilling a hole in anything else?
Lots of layers of newspaper sitting on top of my plastic drill case, just in case I drilled through all the newspaper. It worked pretty well.
