Who's Sari now!
To create this exotic treatment opposite, which reflects the beauty of an East Indian sari, edge blue sheer fabric with metallic ribbon.
You will need:
- Teal blue sheer fabric, or Sari material
- Silver metallic ribbon, sufficient to edge your fabric
- Iron-on fusing tape
- 14 clip-on metal curtain rings
Here's how:
For panel height, measure from top of window to floor, adding about 20cm to length for hems and to allow for puddling. Use the entire width of fabric for panel width.
1. Fold under top and bottom 2cm; press. Fold under an additional 4cm; press. Place fusing tape between layers; press to join.
2. Use fusing tape to secure metallic ribbon along long selvage edges of panels, folding ends of ribbons to back.
3. Evenly space the clip-on metal curtain rings across the top of each panel, and slip onto a curtain rod mounted above your window.
