    It looks remarkable. I'm so happy you went with the blue and white. It was a wonderful choice. Great job on your sewing and tutorial. Why do you use an ivory lining, as opposed to a white lining? Just curious. I figure there must be a reason.

    Your drapes look gorgeous, Julie! I'm looking forward to seeing you pull your library together. Sometimes it's good to just let things find you! I'm sure it will all come together really well.

    Although, I have to say one of the first things that comes to mine is some kind of map wall art project. I'm sure you could replicate something that I've seen at either Pottery Barn or Restoration Hardware, and The Graphics Fairy has shared some maps on her blog. And there's my 2 cents for what it's worth! : )

    Wow! Great tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing this. I was just thinking that I needed some new curtains in my living room and I wanted to try and make them myself. I am visiting from Under the Table & Dreaming.

    I would love to know the formula for calculating the width of these panels! If I have a window that's 48" wide, for instance, and I want two panels, what is the width of each panel?

    @Karen S
    There's no exact formula for width. It depends mostly on your preference. For a 48" window, I'd recommend a width of 25"-54". Obviously, the wider the fabric, the fuller the panel will be when pulled to the sides. And you may even consider extending the rod & panels past the window on each side to make the window appear even larger. Hope this helps you. Feel free to email me if you have further questions.
