One is an amazing soft wool paisley, the other is.... I have no idea what. It feels like.... plastic macrame? But it's not plastic, because it ironed beautifully.
The wool became a relaxed Roman shade.
It's trimmed with a loop fringe layered over white grosgrain.
The mesh fabric became long drapery panels, which I wish I had seen on-site, but alas I only saw them here. But the homeowner and decorator flipped over them! They called twice to say how happy they were. All hand-sewn of course, except for the actual pleats. The picture does not do them any kind of justice. The top-tacked heading has translucent buckram.
Khaki chain weight in the bottom is thanks to Kelly from Scarlet Poppy Interiors in Texas who saved the day! I tried to order it from Rowley but it is on backorder. Kelly responded to my plea on the CHF Forum.
And that wasn't all. We made Roman shades too out of the mesh. Here they are not hiding the shelves full of supplies and tools. They are reverse-mounted, but we didn't have to make a self-fabric valance because they went under cornices.
The best part was, we didn't have to put in grommets- just ran the matching tan string through the mesh!
