Hi, I hope someone can help me with some curtain advice please. A friend has some sheer lace curtains which are too long for the window. She wants me to put a gather in the bottom of the curtains which will bring them up to their correct length. She wants the gathering to be at the bottom of the curtain only so as not to create a full 'balloon' effect. I have seen this done but have never attempted it before. The ones I saw had ribbon bows at the bottom of each gather. I am experienced with making ordinary curtains so understand the basics of hemming, etc. Could SKS please advise me on how to go about creating this look please. I have cross posted this as I am not sure where I should be asking. Regards Chris.
