What would you do?
My DIL called me and wants to make curtains for the new apartment they are moving into this month. She has I believe 10 + windows that are 84 inches long. She thought buying one bolt of material would make drapes for all these windows but I'm trying to explain that it has always cost me more to make drapes/curtains then to buy them. I do make valances and use about 5 yards for each one to get a nicely gathered look.
What would you advise, should she make these or go on a search for the least expensive drapes she can buy, perhaps just a sheer panel and then make drapes one at a time as they get settled in?
