New curtains PiP

[emjacobs]

Well sorta, I have the fabric just need to make them.
Left to right:
Dining room windows- 2 skinnies and a normal window, full length
Guest room- 2 normal windows, full length
Kitchen- cafe style
Solid color is for a stool that is at the built in desk in the kitchen

What does h&g think?

I actually don't have a ton of furniture in any of the rooms yet.
Yep ill be lining them, did white flat sheets for the last set and it worked well.

Beautiful fabrics were did you buy them from?

Hmm why I never thought to use a white sheet as lining....

I love them. I could totally see the scrolly fretwork pattern in my dining room. Are they true home dec fabrics- 52/54" wide? I prefer to use a Roc-lon lining fabric. For one thing they are woven more square than sheets so they hang truer plus they're treated to resist staining and fading. Plus they're a uniform size that work with home dec so you don't have to measure width. Basic economy Roc-lon is pretty inexpensive.

I probably don't need to mention it, but please match the panels. I have a friend who doesn't do this and it brings out my OCD when I go to her house. I can't face the curtains or my eye starts to twitch. If you pick a large pattern for panels, each panel should be identical.

Sierra they are all from Joannes and were all on 50% off.

Auntie-
The left two are true home dec fabrics, the right one is an outdoor fabric but the window is much smaller (I think the fabric is still 54" wide though). I have had pretty good results using a $2 flat sheet on curtains, they hang great, none of them get a ton of sun, and I change / move curtains often enough it isn't really worth spending a ton extra on lining.

I might be being dense in the morning, but what do you mean by match the panels? Like don't put one panel of each fabric on the same window? Yeah that would never happen. The dining room and kitchen are open to each other but spaced far apart and the bedroom, well its a bedroom. OR do you mean to make sure the pattern falls in the same way on each panel? Like the repeat starts at the same place at the top? Also not a problem :)The hardest one for that would be the kitchen window since the repeat is so large but we are only doing one panel there. The other two repeat on a checkerboard pattern and we have A TON of extra.
