But, if you want to spend a lot of time on it, you could do something like this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.athomeonthebay.com/2012/01/swiss-cross-pillow.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.athomeonthebay.com/2012/01/swiss-cross-pillow.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/designsewing-bees-help-me-solve-this-curtain-problem#post-1183082 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 18:57:59 +0000 avivoca 1183082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You should be able to recreate that, but I would look at some other websites first. Try Fabric.com, fabricworm.com, or maybe google it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/designsewing-bees-help-me-solve-this-curtain-problem#post-1183081 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 18:56:58 +0000 mrsbookworm 1183081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Standard width is 52" I think, so if you have a really thin hem at the sides, you can get away with just buying 2 1/2 yards for each panel. It depends what you're planning on doing for the top of the panel (rod pocket, grommets, clips..) I only sew a little, so someone else might be more knowledgeable. I have made curtains before, but it's been a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/designsewing-bees-help-me-solve-this-curtain-problem#post-1183075 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 18:53:38 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1183075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbookworm: I made the same size panels for DD's nursery and I can't remember how many yards I bought!

Probably more than $15 though :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/designsewing-bees-help-me-solve-this-curtain-problem#post-1183054 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 18:47:38 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1183054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dream about putting up black and white swiss cross curtains in the new baby's nursery.</p> <p>Of course, I can't find the curtains anywhere. I found the PERFECT fabric on etsy, but it is $45 a yard!!! I want 50x84 inch panels, so that would be insanely expensive.</p> <p>Has anyone seen curtains like this? Or fabric around $15 a yard? Does anyone know anything about getting fabric made?</p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/155645339/swiss-cross-in-black-fabric-by-the-yard" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/155645339/swiss-cross-in-black-fabric-by-the-yard</a> </p>
