Just about to join the curtain widths (2.5 per curtain) to make a pair of triple pleat curtains. The fabric (silk) pattern is two alternating 9.5cm wide vertical stripes and there's about 1cm selvedge each side. Having a dilema about where to join the widths.....
I can either loose 2 stripes at each join to keep the pattern match but that means massive seam allowances and I'd loose lots of width (I'd have 10 x 14.5cm pleats across 2.5 widths)
OR I can keep the 2 stripes at each join but only have 1cm seam allowances (and I'd have 12 x 15cm pleats across 2.5 widths)
......would I be ok with such a small seam allowance? These are primarly dress curtains and won't be drawn often if at all.
Heeeeeelp....pleeeeessssse!
