Apparently, I didn't manage to whine enough about how nasty this stuff is to sew.
The bride-to-be showed up today with about 100 yards of black tulle. She has this idea that "we" are going to make curtains out of the panels ( she says she cut them into 8' lengths. She want me to put a header at the top and the bottom, "we" will then gather them onto dowel rod and hang them from the ceiling with ribbon. This is to hide the columns at the reception hall.
If she did manage by some miracle to cut them all the same length, we shouldn't have a problem, but if she didn't, it's gonna look odd, right? She wants to run a dowel rod through the bottom hem as well so they will hang straight.
I'm thinking maybe it would be better to sew washers every so often along the bottom for weight but I don't know, what do you all think? She's going to cut the dowel rods the size of the width of the columns - about 24", I think. How would she keep the tulle on the dowel rods at the bottom?
Oh, this is not good. I think we need to talk about this some more.
Maybe it would be better to tie them at the top and the bottom with really wide ribbon.
