I have found 2 lovely off cuts at my local curtain fabric shop, they co-ordinate very well together and originally I thought that I would make cushions. Now that I have draped them about at home I think that they would be good as curtains. Each bit is just a bit longer than one full length drop (so if I needed a 1 width single dress curtain on one side of my window I would be fine).
So, option a: make a pair of full length curtains with the top 2' or so in the heavier of the two fabrics, the lower part in the lighter weight fabric. Pattern wise this would work well. Should I interline the thinner fabric with lining fabric to bring it up to the same weight as the top fabric?
option b: full length curtains with the leading edge in the heavier fabric and the outer edges in the the lighter wight fabric. Each length of fabric would only be 1/2 width AND some fabric would be lost due to a seam running floor to ceiling.
Both curtains would be lined with a hidden tab top (my current favorite type of top for a curtain as I fancy a change from yeas of pencil pleat).
Has anyone made anything similar before? I have 'interlined' curtains with lining type fabric before to thicken it up a bit and it worked well...
