And since I was using thinner linen-look fabric, I did use two layers, but it was still easy sewing, just cut two rectangles and sew all the way around, leaving a small opening for turning right-side-out. Mine looks more casual, I like that your hooks are hidden by the thick fabric.<br />http://www.stitchcraftcreations.com/2009/08/22/a-tour-a-tutorial/Hollyhttp://www.stitchcraftcreations.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-14528740487553708822010-01-28T11:38:30.478-05:002010-01-28T11:38:30.478-05:00Hey Sarah!

Here's a tip for extra-wide windows: the cup hooks on each side may not provide as much support across the window as you'd like. If this happens (as it did to me), simply buy a cheap skinny tension rod and place it under the fold. It will keep the fold in place all the way across the window.<br /><br />Here's a link in case anyone would like to see my version of Sarah's famous window treatment: http://impartinggrace-richella.blogspot.com/2009/10/diy-decorating.html<br /><br />Thanks!Richellahttp://impartinggrace-richella.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-57864933361954207092010-01-11T14:02:03.717-05:002010-01-11T14:02:03.717-05:00I am planning some MAJOR window treatment festivit...I am planning some MAJOR window treatment festivities soon.
