I’ve been engaged on the bed room curtains for a number of days now. I haven’t been absolutely targeted on this challenge. I’ve been getting sidetracked by different issues, like designing striped pillow material, selecting up my matted and framed chapel image for the lobby and making an attempt to determine how you can grasp it, coping with the leak within the roof and coordinating with my contractor to have the cracked solar tunnel skylight changed, amongst different issues.
However in between all these different issues, I’ve been engaged on the bed room curtains. I assumed I would be capable of get all of them completed yesterday, however after I hung the primary panel in order that I might pin the hem in place, I had doubts about my resolution on the trim. I had two choices — wrap the trim across the fringe of the panel in order that it wasn’t fairly so daring and extensive and simply gave a touch of orange, or use the trim in order that the complete width of the orange trim confirmed.
I believe I selected the fallacious one. Right here’s what the panel seems to be like with the trim wrapped across the edge. This panel is completed aside from the hem.
Right here’s the factor. I just like the width of the trim when wrapped across the edge. What I don’t like is that the design loses its affect when it’s folded in half.
It will be a ache to alter course proper now, however there’s nothing apart from my want to get these completed ASAP that’s conserving me from doing it over if it must be executed. I nonetheless haven’t put the pleats in a number of the panels, so if I’m going to alter my thoughts, that is the time to do it. They do have the trim sewn on the sting, however it may be simply eliminated, ironed, and reused.
Right here’s what it will appear like with the complete width of the trim displaying. And naturally, with my love of (and actually, my want for) symmetry, I believe I ought to have gone this route. Hindsight is 20/20, proper?
I do want it was narrower, however there’s nothing I can do to alter that at this stage. So I both hold it folded across the edge, wherein case the quantity of orange displaying is ideal (to me) however the design is minimize in half, which seems to be incomplete to me. Or I take advantage of the complete width, which will likely be a lot bolder, however the design is full, which is much more pleasing to the attention and provides me that symmetry that I really like.
Not utilizing the trim shouldn’t be an possibility. I hung the material on the rod for a few days with out the trim to see if I favored that, and I don’t. It’s method too plain and blah. The curtains want trim and that punch of orange for me to be proud of them. I’m simply (nonetheless) torn on how you can use it, particularly now that I even have one panel completed (aside from the trim) and hung within the room. Let me know your ideas, however as of proper now, I’m pondering I have to redo them. Whereas I need to get these (and the entire room) completed ASAP, I additionally need it executed proper.
