I am hugely disappointed with these curtains. I didn't open them for a while as I wasn't ready to alter them straight away. Now I am stuck with them. I started to TRY and take up the short pair and I spent 3 hours on one only to put it up with disgust. They are so badly made they ruck at the edges. The seams don't match top and bottom. The material is too thin and slippy for sowing. They are useless. What a waste of money. One star for pattern and good delivery.
