Of course, taking photos toward the window in the daytime in a room that is painted in a dark-ish colour does not yield good results with my camera in idiot mode.
Behold! The curtains with the irritatingly large pattern repeat are done! A further 3m of fabric from a different bolt (so slightly different colour) were found and purchased, but I don't think you can tell that one drop is slightly different.
Also: I bring you another top tip of the blindingly obvious variety. Cheap material is... cheap. Okay, the feel and print of this fabric are fine, but the fabric had a badly wonky grain and off-grain pattern. When cutting out I had to choose between cutting perpendicular to the selvedges, cutting along the grain-line, or cutting along the pattern repeat (we chose to take an average of all three, so hopefully it would hang fine and the pattern not be too wonky). Add to this the 24" pattern repeat and you've got a headache.
Anyways, not much to say here that I didn't already say about these previous curtains of the same design. They're interlined with blackout lining, and lined with polycotton. I still love the metal eyelets and you shouldn't mess around with those shonky plastic ones in the highstreet shops. Just go straight to Hanolex and buy the biggest hammer you'll ever own.
Mr B: "This hammer is awesome. It looks like a Thor Hammer, you know? Like the god Thor?"
Me: "Yes, that's why it's called a Thor Hammer."
Mr B: "Oh."
If you're interested, the wall colour is "Soft Cinnebar 3" by Dulux. For the first time in my life, I copied a "Get the Look!" article in the National Trust Magazine. Except it's cheaper to get a Dulux colour mixed than go to Fired Wallet or wherever they were suggesting.
I am finally rid of the horrid brown and tan pairs of suede-effect unlined curtains that came with the house! But, bad news: Mr B wants them to be re-sewn into covers for his mower and his vice (to protect them from belt sander dust). I don't know if I can bear to touch them... eugh.
Your designing looks great. I really like the way you have shaped your curtains.
