For the project you will need organdy ribbons of different widths.
Choose any color you like. Depending on the length and width of the "curtain"
you might need 4-8 reels. Our curtain is for a 32" wide window or door.
We made it 60" long and used 5 reels of organdy ribbon.
Embroider the battenberg lace motifs of your choice.
Step One: Cut ribbons into pieces of the required length,
plus 2 inches for loops. Our curtain is 60" long, so we cut pieces 62"
long.
Fold one of the ends of each piece back 1 1/2" to 2". Straight stitch
in place.
Step Two: On a working table, place a curtain rod and put the
loops onto the rod.
Step Three: Take the motifs and distribute them over the ribbons
as you like. Pin.
Step Five: Manually stitch the motifs to two or three neighboring
ribbons each.
Hang the curtain on a window or in a door way.
We hope that you liked our idea and will come up with many of your
own.
