Hi all,
I had a call to a client this week whose curtains I made about 18months ago. They were interlined with a flange cord leading edge. I was apalled at the state of them when I saw them. The fabric had dropped nearly 3cm (LA Fabric I might add!!) and because I had sewn the hem through to the face of the curtains the fabric was sagging over the front of the hemline. Also where the corded edge was the fabric was sagging downwards away from the cord. In short they looked awful.
I have offered to take them away and re-hem them and client is really sweet so I may do it as goodwill.
My point is that its so depressing the re-visit a client and find your work that you were quite pleased with has turned into something horrific. I also visited another client whose triple pleat curtains were made over a year ago and they too were beautiful and now they have been manhandled so much they are barely hanging on their hooks anymore.
Does anyone else reel in horror when they visit friends houses and see they stuff they did fading and generally wearing out??!!
