I never thought blinds and curtains could go together in window that small. It actually looks nice!

We might have different reasons for having window treatments, but it's great to hear that aside from putting up a beautiful embellishment on your window, you were also able to control your view of the outside from inside your room. Ah, the magic of curtains and blinds. Good job!<br /><a href="https://plus.google.com/113439171149643069043/about" rel="nofollow">Regina @ Salisbury Venetian Blind LLC</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11449374168345309903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-62909971797138360332013-10-20T08:39:11.056-04:002013-10-20T08:39:11.056-04:00love the window treatment, Bunny.

Once the curtain is done figure out where you want them to knot. STITCH them together at that spot. Fold you lower curtain in nice folds and slip those strap loops onto the folded curtain. Once hung, tie the bow.

Then you wrap it around like in the jacket and sew the free edge of the rod pockets to the seam you just sewed, lower curtain/rod pocket. Hope this is clear. You are more than welcome to copy. The original had the big rod pocket all the way accros but I had to deal with a center support on my rod that was already up on the wall. Good luck!Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-25592836216198420362013-10-07T17:25:11.538-04:002013-10-07T17:25:11.538-04:00Another New England gal here.

Even though I ...Fresh and lovely window treatment. Even though I read your crinkle-jacket yoke instructions, I'm having a hard time visualizing the "burrito" application here. Are the tabs the two parts of the top which loop over the curtain rods? Those tabs are sewn onto the large piece of fabric which constitutes the bottom? Then the large piece is rolled up, the tabs wrapped around and sewn again? The box pleats under the straps are meant to give more fullness and drape to the swag? I'd love to be able to copy your idea. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13713792276304999616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-14181616754793753222013-10-07T11:57:58.222-04:002013-10-07T11:57:58.222-04:00Very pretty!Very pretty!KarlaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17571554968017931589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-48234491251484034272013-10-07T09:36:48.944-04:002013-10-07T09:36:48.944-04:00I remember when you pinned the monogrammed curtain...I remember when you pinned the monogrammed curtain, Bunny & I loved it, but this treatment is even nicer!<br />You won't ever get tired of it & I think you accomplished your goal of hiding the underbelly of the porch while preserving your pretty view.
