HI There
Just loking for inspiration really. I've got to make some long curtains for a fairly wide window so it's a big job and although I've mucked about with making tab tops and pretty simple window coverings before I want to make these so they look like they are well made.
I've got a massive piece of black needle cord so I was thinking of having a band of this at the top and bottom with some other fabric but not sure what? Chenille? Do I need to be careful that I get materials that will hang properly? That's the only thing that's putting me off starting really, that and what heading to use? I've got a machine and fairly ok sowing ability, I reckon haha
Be grateful for any tips or hints as to what to do:)
