The curtains are short, so we used 2" translucent buckram. Side and bottom hems were all hand-sewn, as well as the little pinches for the pleats. In fact, the only machine sewing is the where the pleats are sewn.

Gold mesh curtains
Yesterday I forgot to post the pictures of the curtains that go over those unlined hobbled shades.
This mesh is viscose and poly. It took the iron well, pressed readily, and was easy to sew. It's very fluid, and drapes beautifully. Because the curtains will be inside mounted, we kept the fullness down by making two-finger French pleats.
