Puddle curtains in living room?

[Slightlysurviving]

I suppose I am wondering if being lazy and not hemming curtains to brush the floor is ok? We will probably be getting dark blue, thick curtains and will have 20 cm to hem or let spill over. Would it look ok or would you just think, oh those curtains don't fit?

What can look lovely in carefully staged photos usually looks rubbish and a bit weird in real life.

Also, dust and ouse will gather around the puddle, and will really show up on a dark fabric.

Sorry!

I knew that was the answer just trying to keep the to do list as small as possible. Thanks

You’re welcome.

I now have no excuse to shorten a pair of curtains I’ve been trying to puddle myself!

Puddles look great with a floaty material. Not so great with a thick foldy type material. It could depend on the decor too whether it suits the style. I pin em up with dressmaking pins and get round to sewing later! Much later. Possibly never

I've never heard this term. I thought you were looking for puddle patterned curtains 😂 🤷‍♂️

I had puddled gauzy white linen curtains in my living room - but the cat took the name seriously...why did he think it was ok to wee on them??

Me too @myshit is real.
Op pretty sure you can still but iron on tape stuff for hemming. Not too dear and definitely saves sewing (hooray)

Buy not but

Hemming should be a quick job, have you got other sewing to do as well once the machine's out?

It's gotta be done I'm afraid
