Teal Polka Dot Curtains

These are some simple curtains made from a dressmaking weight fabric that my client had already purchased.

They have been made to apron length (just below the sill) which is a good option in a bedroom where curtains need to hang over furniture. A simple gathered heading has been used to create an informal but pretty look for a girl's room.

I wouldn't normally recommend dress weight fabric for curtains as it's a bit lightweight to drape well, but I'm pretty pleased with the way these have turned out with the help of a good quality lining. A blackout lining was considered, but my client opted for the tactile appeal of a softer lining.

This is the second pair made for the same room, being "dressed" in my workroom.
