Wizardry Turns Sheets into Curtains

Gorgeous antique sheets were turned into curtains and window treatments where the monograms center in the valances.

She says that "the first ones are made from a pair, but if the window is larger they don't have to be the same, which can be even prettier!"

She folds over the embroidered part and just sews a ribbon on the back for rings; it does not involve any cutting of the sheet and therefore can be undone and the sheet is completely intact! They can also be dyed as these type of sheets take dye very well (or they can also be tea dyed), which emphasizes the embroidery!
