"Floral Draperies"......& how -to's!
Sunday, May 22, 2011
Who knows when my love affair with "floral draperies" began?.....All I know is that I L.O.V.E. them!
Of course the "flower-ier" they are the more my affection increases!....Large cabbage roses strewn across yards of linen,.... or antique cotton, simply make my heart skip a beat!...
Faded, textured fabric,..... laden with blossoms,....is what I would prefer all my windows to be dressed with.
The nicest thing is that draperies like these are within our reach!...Purchase a few yards of a charming floral that speaks to you, & sew yourself a pair of the most romantic draperies ever!....After-all, shouldn't we all be surrounded with "fabric & flowers"!

INSTRUCTIONS:
Just determine your desired "finished length" and add 4" for the casing & 4" for the hem,... & cut two panels that length. For the casing: Turn down top 4", turn raw edge under 1/2"; press & stitch. For the hem: same instructions apply, just at the opposite end.
You now have yourself your own "floral draperies"!!
How talented you are!
