It’s the simple things. I’m in the process of making lovely girl her very own theatre! This is quite possibly the simplest project I have ever worked on. Take a length of fabric (in this case red velvet) cut to the size of a doorway; make sure it’s higher than your child – but it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t reach the top of the door. Cut down the middle. Hem. On the top hem make a channel so you can put a pole through. Spend, in my case £2.50, on an extendable curtain pole (mine came from Amazon – but actual real life haberdashery or fabric shops will have them too!) Then add – if you want – a fancy embellishment or two… done.

Happy doorway theatre!

My intention is to add a panel hanging from the top bar which would transform this into a puppet doorway theatre; but lovely girl isn’t at an age to love puppets yet so for the moment she just loves running in and out of curtains saying “ta da” so I can’t argue with that!
