Curtains for a Friend

I made these curtains from a yard of delicate, embroidered burlap-type fabric I bought at the Thurmont, MD, fabric warehouse.  Initially my friend was interested in it for curtains for her master bathroom or bedroom.  I bought the yard so she could go home and see what it looked like, knowing I would find some use for the yard.  Little did we know that we'd find a use for it in the bathroom they installed in the home office/gym/garage.

When I started measuring, I realized the swath of fabric wasn't quite long enough for this window space so I cut a strip of brown, lightly printed cotton from my to-be-quilted-sometime collection and sewed it on the back of the delicate burlap, along the top to make the extra length for the tension rod.

The back side, top of the curtains.

I really like how it turned out. It really compliments this beautiful bathroom.
