I bought a pair of olive green drapes, a pair of floral drapes and a qn. size bed skirt. The bedskirt is 15" wide and it yielded about 4 yds in length, the drapes are 42" wide and 84"long (each panel) and yielded 4 yds. for each pair. I took out all the hems and pressed the fabric. All that for about $17.00. Would you consider that a bargin??
A great bargin it was, Love the colors as it is my best in colors , the green goes very well with it , I am always thinking when I see sales like that or someone will change their minds on the drapes and even slipcovers, some times clothing, I would think of the same,thinking what I can use it for.. Great minds work well... at a $17.00 bargin, its great.. can't wait to see how it comes out..
