Fresh Handcrafted Green Applique Curtain (Set Of 2)

What does the design look like?

A standing figure among leaves is cut in tone-on-tone shapes in the style of cutwork, with darker sage shadows bringing out the outlines. Dotted and chevron bands run along the hem. On the pale mint ground, the whole effect is soft and quiet.

What kind of room does pale mint suit?

Mint is a cool, gentle green that sits well in bedrooms, reading corners and living rooms with white or cream walls. It pairs with light wood, rattan, white linen and plants, and works with soft pink or peach accents if you want a little warmth.

How many curtains do I get, and what size?

Two curtains come in this set, each 44 x 84 inches, about 3.5 by 7 feet. Hang them on either side of a window or across a wide doorway, so the two figures frame the opening.

What is applique?

Applique is a technique of sewing cut fabric pieces onto a base fabric to form a design. Shapes are layered, sometimes with raw edges, and stitched in place. Here it creates the figure, the leaves and the hem bands, adding texture and dimension to the cotton.

What washing do they need?

Gentle handwashing with a mild detergent, washed separately, and dried in the shade. That is the whole routine for these hand-stitched cotton curtains. Handle the stitched shapes gently while washing.

Are they a good gift?

Yes, a pair of handmade curtains is a thoughtful gift for anyone who enjoys crafted pieces at home. They come from a women's self-help group in Barmer, led by master artisan Khetaram, and the soft mint tone fits most decor schemes. The pair can frame a window or a wide doorway.
