I don’t know about you, but come mid winter, when the calendar seems slow to announce the first hints of spring, my home interior often seems, well, blah! It comes from spending all that time indoors eying our decor and comparing it with the homes in the magazines…

So why not give your home a bit of a face lift? Start with one or two rooms that you spend the most time in or go for the room that has been neglected far too long, and dive in!

Think about a new, crisp look in draperies by stitching up something in faux silk. Or maybe you really want to let in that springtime sunshine. Our beautiful laces offer a great choice. Make a statement with our crushed or uncrushed taffeta’s in solids or with embroidered designs. Our crushed voiles will add a light, springy look that is fresh and new.

So tear down those old, dusty curtains or drapes and take the plunge! It will give your home and you a lift out of those winter time blues.

Does your business involve supplying costumes for community or school theaters? Does the cost for building such costumes run you over budget? Are you having difficulty finding unique fabrics that suit your needs?

At In-Weave we have a reputation for being able to supply such needs to our performance friends. We sell velvets by the yard for costuming or by the roll for curtains. We have a selection of wide poly/cottons and jacquards that appeal to many of our theater customers. Also, taffetas with elegant embroidery-crushed or uncrushed-are all available at very reasonable prices. These fabrics and so much more are here just for you.

Visit us and you will see why our theater friends come back to us again and again!

One decorating statement that never seems to go out of style is the country look. Curtains done in a country style are often heavier cottons or faux silk done in bold stripes, buffalo plaid or check. Do you find yourself pricing ready-made curtains and becoming discouraged when you see how expensive they are? When you shop at www.inweavefabric.com, you will find that often you can sew simple yet stylish curtains for your entire room for close to the cost of one ready made curtain.

We have a variety of cotton and faux silk fabrics available in popular colors and coordinates. One variety that is especially nice is our toile collectiion with coordinating stripes, plaids, and checks,. Nothing is prettier in a country home than stylish curtains in a toile fabric piped or ruffled with a coordinating check or stripe.

Mix and match these lively cottons and see what you can do for yourself and your home!

When sewing more formal curtains using both sheer panels and heavier draperies you always hang the sheer curtains behind the heavier draperies, right? Well, not necessarily! It is perfectly acceptable and sometimes even preferable to hang your sheers on top!

One way to soften or slightly obscure a drab drapery, or simply add pattern and/or color to your draperies is to hang a pretty sheer over your draperies. Also, if you have a pretty patterned sheer that you want to feature but you want more privacy, you can hang a drapery such as a taffeta underneath your sheer curtains.

Next time you are looking to change your draperies, consider this fun twist. Mix and match the colors in your sheers and draperies in a pleasing combination and you will love the results!
