When I was in the fabric warehouse buying the white fabric, a fellow customer asked me who was going to make my curtains. "Me!" I said, rather indignantly. I think he may have been looking for business. He said his wife started a business making men's shirts and now they employ 18 people. I told him I make Jack's shirts too, so I'm not a good prospect!
I went to a more 'upmarket' shop for the decorative fabric. Hmm. Next time I buy a remnant, I'll open it up in the shop to make sure the folds are not shopsoiled. I put the fabric in with a load of washing, but I can still see the marks. I contemplated taking it back to the shop, but I'm pretty sure remnants are sold 'voetstoets' - as is, let the buyer beware. I can't even console myself that I got a bargain because it was quite expensive.
Well I bet you’ll be the only one who will ever notice the marks, Jane. The curtains look lovely.
ReplyDeleteGreat curtains!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe curtains are lovely! I've had the same thing happen. Sometimes I can get the marks out with Fels Naptha soap, but even that doesn't always work.
ReplyDeleteI love how the curtain filter the sunlight. As a novice seamstress, that is good advice.
ReplyDeleteTurned out lovely but as Jane said, it's probably only you who will notice any marks.

I have had that happen to me but not with curtains so I was able pattern peices around them, I can see where curtains might be a problem but looks like you pulled it off well😁
