The patio doors are in our garden room extension that we had built a couple of years ago. They face south, which means that although they flood the room with light, it can also be quite dazzling at times. The sheer under curtains are light, floaty and can be drawn across to screen out the direct sunlight.
I chose a simple cotton muslin for my sheers and pre-washed it to reduce the risk of shrinkage on future laundering. I added a fun pink bobble fringe - because I was in that kind of mood! The great thing about a haberdashery leading edge trim is that it can always be changed.
I opted not to "pool" my sheers on the floor as I was concerned about the practicality of this on these doors, which see a lot of traffic in a family home. Maybe I was being a little too practical - they can go in the washing machine after all.
The main curtains here are simple cotton curtains with a tape heading and a contrast leading edge trim. I made them some time ago (well before doing my NDA Diploma) and they have been relocated to this room.
These look lovely. I keep putting off making new curtains for our newly decorated bedroom as I can't decide on the header. I've seen 'floppy' headers in some magazines but am not sure if it will work on my fabric. If they turn out well I'll be putting pics on my blog; if they don't I won't!
