Hi! Dawn
I will put my hand up and admit that I am the same! I have even bought a
pair of second hand curtains to make into an Elizabethan costume - I had little
to spend on fabric, as Christmas was coming up. The same costume had what was
a luxury bedding sheet as the skirt contrast! I

My curtains are a 100% cotton brocade with a period 16'th century design.

What a great idea! I am always having trouble finding cotton shear enough!

I have wanted to try these panels or coverlet for an 18thC petticoat. I
have an older one cut (It was shabby and I suppose could have been used for
a quilt batt) but this is a little heavier than the contemporary

She replaced them but couldn't part with the fabric. Opportunity

our hotel room. We took one look at the curtains and looked at each
