What to do with that collection of linens that sits forever in your drawers? Why not stitch them together into café curtains? They will be displayed beautifully, without being subjected to undue stress.

You'll need:

Start by laying out your linens to create the panels (one panel should cover the lower half of the window, the other should be a valence that covers the top quarter) in the size that you need for your windows. Then pin them in place and top stitch them together. Fold down about 2 inches and stitch to create a rod pocket. Then you can mount the curtain rods at the top and middle of the window and put your valence and café curtain in place.
