Both curtains now finished - even the handsewing!! Unfortunately, the endstops I got from Amazon didn't fit, so I'm going to try white Bluetac, not sure it will work, but I can only try. I thought to press a lump at the back of the rail, and hope it will be enough to stop them dropping off the end!
They are hanging a bit long, I put that down to the weights, which are a bit heavy for voile I think. So, the next time they go up, I'll move the hooks to the middle of the tape. At least they won't blow out through the patio wondows when it's drafty!
I'm holding off hanging them, because the Carpet Man is due in the next week or so, so I would have to take them down again so that the poor chap won't have them wrapping around him!
Tie backs are also done, but not too sure about the metal D rings - they have a tiny gap at the top, so hoping they won't come loose.
I'm very pleased with them, but disappointed that I had to be economical with the fabric, and they don't pull as far as I would like. Can't complain though, I only paid a few pounds for the piece.
