Mom pointed out that, after this visit, she can say she has made curtains for all her kids. We re-did the master bath recently (big reno project that, despite David's astonishment that we PAID OTHER PEOPLE to do this instead of DIY), including a heated tile floor, and the old top ruffle curtains from the early 80's had to go. Mom and I spent most of Saturday, after our long road trip, combing BedBath, Target and finally K-Mart (the Martha Stewart Aisle, of course) hunting for the Right Thing. We found the right thing, but 90 degrees off, so we spend the rest of Saturday, and Mom most of Sunday, stitch ripping, pressing and sewing/hemming the new sheers. I love the look!

Oh, that's where mom went! It was 36 degrees centigrade in Toronto today, so I called to see if she was OK. Turns out she was in DC, and I completely forgot. Good move.
I'm glad the K-Mart had what you needed. What does "90 degrees off" mean? I don't get it. Too hot? wrong aisle?
how about the material was rotated 90 deg from what they wanted so they re sewed the whole thing.
Well, maybe we sewed the whole thing, but we didn't have to cut the pieces to size, and just add hems to the sides and bottoms. It worked out about 1/3 of the time of sewing from yardage. They look really nice.
