I know a lot of people use the terms curtains and drapes interchangeably, but I think of curtains as being made from a more lightweight and drapes are made of a much heavier weight fabric. A lot of drapes are made of fabric that is close in weight to some upholstery fabrics and are, generally, a tighter weave and are sturdier than some curtain fabrics. Thanks Kim! Good point about the difference between curtains and drapes. I do use the two terms interchangeably but you are right, they can be vastly different.
Thanks for the insight! This post is really useful. Thank you very much for sharing, Carrie. This will be a great reference for me. I will try to make some cushions by myself. Thanks so much for great tips! I just bookmarked for my partner, they are definitely helpful. She is designing new curtain, drapes for our kids. Such informative tips! Thanks for sharing with us, Carrie. I really appreciate it. To save money- repurpose fabric from other sources, I often find sheets, duvet covers, table cloths, curtains and placemats on clearance … Best of all, some of them already have a hem or buttons allow me to work off of.
Oh man, you give a lot of great ideas to recycle. Painting fabric sounds good, cant wait to try it and see my outcome. Thanks so much for inspiration Carrie! Thanks for the good ideas. I always scour alternative sources for fabric.
I do check the remnant piles in fabric stores and sometimes find something good, but mostly fabric stores are way too expensive for my projects.
However, so are new sheets! Especially large ones! But I do check thrift stores, yard sales, etc. Thanks Linda! I like to look for remnants too but I almost never find anything that is big enough or that I really like.
And you are right — sometimes sheets are really expensive too, but I have found some great deals before. And I agree — anything secondhand is the cheapest way to get something good!
Carrie these are such great ideas! I am also a fan of taking clothes apart and using the pretty pattern. I had taken a recliner cover apart and repurposed it into curtains. Great post with lots of fun and practical ideas. And all of your projects are awesome! I loved your post! I made several pillows from a gorgeous blue patchwork quilt. I have had great luck finding bargain curtains at at Home Goods. I love the idea of using an old quilt Donna — especially since so many of the older ones are full of holes and hard to use on a bed anymore.
My wife does a lot of crafting and I have been starting to like it more myself. These are great tips! I do hope this helped you find some new sites to shop for fabric on, though! Happy sewing! I wanted to add a place here in Batesville, Arkansas.
It is Marshall Dry Goods. They have a large selection of fabric. Most of what they have online is their cottons, but the selection is good and the prices are awesome. I live close, so I go to their actual store. They have a lot more in their store and even have a large variety other than just cotton. You can buy in bulk, bundles, and by the yard. Their wholesale is open to anyone. Your email address will not be published.
