Detail

For the bedroom of our youngest I made this washed woolen, uni colored curtain, matching the color of her wall perfectly. The fabric doesn't need to be finished, which I like in this case. Nevertheless I made some decoration. On that side of the curtain where we push it, I sewed a nice edge made of different kinds of fabric remnants. (Hopefully the pics are clear enough for you...)
A little secret is the aluminium strip I pushed in the edge to keep it straight.

    Very clever - weighting/giving structure to the whole edge! Nicely done & it looks lovely!

    such a great idea! I really love the juxtaposition of the modern hardware, simple lines and the kind of country/cozy edging.

    love this! a smart, sweet, flirty little flash of color. scraps never had it so fine :)

    the aluminum band, by the way, is genius.

    i've a curtain in my sewing stack in need of a lengthening. i'll be mulling over this idea this weekend....
