| Calling All Handy Sewing People! I Need Help! Thanks for reading this post! I just bought a sewing machine. I know how to sew, but I used to just borrow my mother's. Well, I want to make this swag/curtain for the living room window because I am NOT spending $150 + cost of tassles on ONE swag at Country Curtains! I told Matt I would try to make it myself b/c it doesn't look that hard. My question is, by looking at the pics below, what kind of fabric do you think this is? What's it called? Do you recommend any specific "heavy" fabric that would look nice for this swag? Thanks in advance for your input, and if I make it and it comes out nice, I will post a pic.

Donating YT 14K Club Member | Nicole...those swags are very pretty. Don't ask me about curtain material. I just look at pictures and then go to a fabric store in the upholstry section and try to match up the designs on the material! But those are very nice. Let us know how it turns out!

| Hmm, I cant think of the specific name of that fabric but if you go to the fabric store that fabric would be in the section with the upholstery fabric.

| I believe that is Damask. Those are a gorgeous style! And yet they do look fairly easy to do yourself. Good luck! Last edited by chloeandj; 05-06-2006 at 08:02 PM. |
