Or at least, that's how it appears.
In my first photo today, (and I do wish it were not the only one in color!), the caption reads "Richly colored cotton print by Everlast provides a beautiful window treatment. An extra two yards of fabric becomes a coordinated floor-length skirt for evening entertaining at home."
If the evening entertaining at home included guests, I am certain all of the women were envious when they arrived, and went home wishing that they, too had clothing that matched THEIR curtains.
And below, a "colorful kitchen print by Thibault is used for apron with a scalloped and trimmed edge to match cornice."
In the example below, the dress actually came first, as you can see in the caption:
(In my next scan, I accidentally cut off part of the caption. sorry - still trying to figure out how to scan again after computer updates were done by my stepson! Everything changed!)
It should read:
"Family room below has beige corduroy Roman Shades with a gold and yellow....
And last of all, "The ever popular gingham check was used in this young girl's room {below} for brief cafe curtains and a matching shade.
The extra yardage was quilted and made into a bathrobe with ball fringe collar and cuffs to match shade."
(All images and descriptions, including the post title, which was also the title of the article, are from a booklet "1001 Decorating Ideas", published by Conso Products, Inc.)
So everyone - please remember this next time you have fabric left over from your new window treatments.
Waste not, want not!

Fascinating! I have a small collection of clothing made out of the begonia leaf pattern bark cloth of my drapes. Great post sis! Love T
Oh this is funny! It reminds me of the Carol Burnett skit where she uses the drapes as her gown in Gone With the Wind:) Twyla
But if you change clothes, you have to redo the living room! On the other hand, if your party is a bust, you can just go stand in front of the drapes and no one will be able to find you.
