Inheriting draperies from Gone With the Wind! Friend Cecilia is redecorating and offered me the drapery panel that covered one whole window wall of her dining room. What a lot of fabric! Let me amend: what a lot of excellent fabric.
Here is this panel on my cutting tables, which are 120” long. John helped me cut off the top pleated bit and … soooo much fabric.
The whole idea behind the curtain giveaway was for Sew Powerful purses. But first I needed to play with the fabric and see whether this brocade is too thick. It cuts and sews beautifully. I’ll need to make some adaption to the strap method. For sure this is great fabric. Below is a bag about the size of a grocery bag that turned out nicely. Now I can make bags and purses for the whole world!
