I recovered these cushions over the summer. Sunbrella is a beautiful but expensive fabric.
If you are going to invest in your furniture you might as well go all the way. Sunbrella will not fade or mildew.
The top picture is a panel with a swag and beads. This is also still in my shop and there will be a total of 4 panels. This customer is fun and playful and these drapes show it. Elegant but fun. I had leftover fabric and made a table runner to go with.
This is still hanging in my shop and there is 4 panels that will hang in a bay window. The widths are a little smaller then usual because we did not take want to take up too much of the window. This customer came over to the shop and we played with fringe and beads. I really liked the way it came out.
These drapes are very wide and high. I love grommets mostly because of the way they stack so nicely.
When doing drapes this big I add batons to the leading edges and do grom- a -link on the backside. The bead on the grom- a- link helps to slide the drapes. The biggest helper is the silicone spray on the rod to help the grommets slide.
