I like dark prints on the front and a nice solid coordinating on the back for glasses case. I think ten or twelve is a nice arrangement with about three color combinations available.
With Place mats, I usually make six sets with two sets of each color combinations. Smaller families nowdays, so four to a set or eight alike. I am a floral nut, so I like springing florals all over the place. snicker
Dont know about window shades but I think if they are the kind you draw up, then double thickness for black out effect but for sets???? don't think so, but about eight of them all the same. If you were talking about Valances, well that is a hard one. I just made a bunch of table runners and I need more plain/solid for backing. I am about tired of the unbleached muslin. You work so hard it just seems unfinished with the bare looking muslin.
Hope you make good sales. I haven't accumulated much yet but by November, I hope to have abunch made up. I'm looking for microfiber to make armchair thingies that you put the TV guide, clicker and pencil and paper in. Something useful for elderly wheelchairs, too. But microfiber is no skid so they won't be loosing things as easily (I hope.) Also, I am going to make some capes for elderly, reversable, too. They really enjoyed the and I had a little strap in front with velcro. Darling florals and then I did plaids for the guys. I found some car fabric but I won't be able to make but one. The end of the cape in front has pockets in them. I love them. I'm a little old lady who needs her shoulders and neck kept warm. OOPS, I got carried away.
Blessings,
