Blanket Stitched Linen Curtains

Posted on | September 28, 2009 | 9 Comments

The last few weeks we have had some pretty cool nights. I need to get serious about drapes for our windows. Last fall, I wanted gorgeous sumptuous $400+/yard fabric. Reality has struck and I’ve come to realization I can’t buy $2,000 curtains when I don’t have insulation in my walls. My sister gave me the heads up on some linen/cotton blend curtains on sale at Pottery Barn. Linen curtains are pretty timeless. I’m sure I can find another home for them once I can afford my fancy floral favorites.

I found this link from gaboushka.com this morning with blanket stitched linen curtains from France. I could blanket stitch the Pottery Barn version myself. Or maybe add a decorative trim?

Those will be beautiful! Linen is pretty much my favorite fiber, so it really can’t be bad in any application.

These are lovely – I adore the stitching details! I wish I had french doors or patio doors to do these curtains justice…

I just snagged a European linen tablecloth c.1920 from a flea market this weekend!

At first I wanted to sew it into pillow cases…but after living with it for a day~now I can’t bring myself to cut it.

I love your curtains! and the colorful swatches.

I wrote this last year and it looks like the website is down. Unfortunately, I don’t have any more info on the manufacturer. Sorry!
