Sewing x2 tie top curtains

$700

Sydney NSW, Australia

2nd Jul 2024

I need x2 tie top curtains made by this Sunday 7th July. Both are 2.5m high x 4m long and will need to tie on to the top horizontal beam of the curtain stands pictured. I want the beam totally obscured, so the ties will need to be on the back of the curtains rather than on top. (See reference image attached with pink fabric) I have purchased the material (VERY lightweight dressmaking corduroy) and can drop it off to your place to get started asap. (I am in Sydney CBD but can drive to anywhere in Sydney) I have bought 6m x 3m fabric for each curtain so they won’t be too voluminous or bulky. (Fabric comes in 1.12cm strips) Open to you taking the lead on what kind of pleats or gathers you think will work best for the material. I will need a tax receipt upon payment and can come and pick up finished product on Sunday. Please message if you have any questions
