For me, it feels decadent to have store bought curtains...
I have been sewing since I was 8 years old, so that's 47 years! I have learned so many things about how to sew properly and beautifully. And I have custom window treatments throughout my home in every room.
An example is the valances in the study...Understand it's hard to get a good picture when I am shooting a window!
I loved this fabric. And it's a heavy upholstery weight combo.
But I was ready for a change. Something more streamlined and lighter. I found it at Bed, Bath and Beyond. They are gauzy and more like a burlap in texture. I DIDN'T HAVE TO MAKE THEM MYSELF! This feels like a vacation to me!
This trio of windows has a thermal pull down honeycomb shade you can barely see at the top. I will get much needed privacy and insulation from the winter with it, so I don't need to worry about the drapes giving privacy or close.
Got any ideas of what to do with the extremely nice valance I no longer use?
