I have made drapes for the living room, curtains for the bathroom, curtains and valances to replace the old ones in the camper, etc.....all made with cottons and lined with muslin!
They hold up very nice. Wash, tumble dry, iron, hang back up.
IMHO, much nicer than any that I have bought premade in stores.
The valances in the camper have pockets all the way across them....works for us it creates extra storage for small light wt objects and handy to get to.
