I must say I fell in love with these bold curtains. So much in fact I made my own for my master bedroom. The idea is a simple one, but I'm here to tell you that they were a lot of work! All those stripes and all that ribbon and tons of stitch witchery and a couple extra trips to Joann's for more supplies - was still well worth it! My two cents, instead of going with 14" wide stripes, if I were to do it again (which I probably will for my living room) I would cut the stripe width down a little bit so that you get both edges on the ironing board at once so it goes a little quicker and everything stays smoothly in place. The curtains I used were from the IKEA Vivan collection with back tabs for beautiful pleating and a 98" raw length so you can easily hem them with the included stitch witchery to your desired length. Oh, and a pair of them are only $14.99! I think they turned out quite fabulous!! For the original tutorial click here.
Fabulous!! They look great. I love how full they are. Thanks for the shout out. Regards, Sarah
