Hello again,
This blog is not the traditional blog because I decided to share an email conversation. One of my neighbors saw what I did to my living room curtains on my website, and embarked on redoing her sewing room which included curtains.
The name of the original blog was “Lengthening Curtains” posted June 28, 2012.
First email:
Hi Shari,
Okay, so my not-a-sewing-room is now painted in Benjamin Moore Ashley Grey, and I really like it! I’m getting ready to make drapes (bought some winter-white with black swirls, softly modern-looking) fabric, bought a 1/2 inch black metal pole which I’m planning to mount fairly close to the ceiling, as we had talked about you doing at your house, too. I’m debating about grommeted vs. pinch pleated. What do you think? Here’s a link to Pottery Barn’s grommeted style:

and here’s a link showing the kind of pinch pleating I’m considering, with 2 folds:

Talk with you soon,
