One of the things on my wishlist is mid century curtains. There are some pretty neat ones out there, but for Mrs. Vintage-on-a-budget, I've come up empty handed--until now. I found these on ebay and put them on my watch list days before auction was ending, and 2 minutes before the auction was up, I remembered to go check on them and I decided to bid and I won.
These curtains appear to be polyester and are a bit textured, slightly shiny, and off-white. One of the pinch pleats was frayed (which was pictured in the auction), but since I knew I would be cutting them down and removing the pleats--no biggie. There is a bit more wear than was described, but re-hemming them up gave them a new fresh edge with out destroying too much of the pattern. I sewed them by hand and did it the day after I got them--determined not to let another project go undone! Now I have to do a little redecorating (an excuse to go on the hunt for more vintage!)
