Eva Longoria 'couldn't afford' curtains, pillows

London: ‘Desperate Housewives’ actress Eva Longoria has admitted she used to make her own curtains and pillows because she "couldn't afford them", when she first moved to Hollywood.

The 40-year-old actress, who recently launched her own line of soft furnishings, said she is more "domestic" than people think, reported Female First.

"People don't realise how domestic I am. I had this partment, and my aunt Elsa would come over. She'd get so mad if I didn't have curtains or nice pillows.

"I couldn't afford them, so she was like, 'Then you need to make them.' So I would go to the fabric store and get discount fabric, and I would sew my own throw pillows," Longoria said.
