OH has been complaining bitterly about a draught coming from under our (just under sill length) bedroom curtains. He wants long curtains. I told him that that will be too expensive this side of Christmas. I did, however, find some on Ebay for under £40. Problem is that I carefully made sure they were long enough and quite forgot about the width and they are a bit too narrow.
Earlier this week though, in an antique centre, I found an enormous damask tablecloth - about 13ft long and it's wide enough. Even at that, it's about 10 inches short for making 2 curtains from. I have washed it and managed to get out several marks. What I'm thinking is that if I cut 4 bands from another cloth (I already have several) I could sew on a piece at the top of each, making the seam coincide with the bottom of the header tape, and another piece at the bottom, turning up the whole piece for a hem. Anyone have any thoughts about this?
