Hi all
Here is the link to sewfine http://www.sewfineproducts.com/curtaingallery.html
I don't make them, But just for an inside tip if you contact Carol
and ask if she will use COM ( customers own material ) she will give
you the yardage needed pending the repeat and pattern direction of
your fabric. They will build them to your wants and desires with your
fabric. It is NOT cheaper but you get custom curtains. Also the stock
curtains are made to handle UV. Your fabric will probably fade out
quick if no color fastness. So, Spending the coin for curtains to
watch them fade and shred from the sun is also an issue, Now if you
wanted to do it right you would line them, But that is MUCH more as
well as you could also have them lined with a thermal fabric to help
keep the heat in or out.
All in good fun.
C-ya Jonce
