I used all linen drapes to make a full length caftan to wear around the house and even to sleep in sometimes. It was SOOOO comfortable and lasted for years. Even if you had to piece it (I did), you can flat fell the seams. Who cares if you are just wearing it about the house. Mine looked great and I had no problem meeting the door or even going outside to fetch the mail in it. I sure got the good out of that fabric!
