I love the how soft the material is so I could do what I wanted with it and the color is perfect. I have two really narrow windows that I can’t find the right size curtain to fit so I ordered this scarf and a panel curtain and made my own by cutting them and sewing the panel and scarf together. The light filtering panel, although it had a strange smell to it, was perfect. It let in just enough light and still provided privacy. The smell went away after a couple of days. I guess it was just a manufacturing smell.
