Black and white striped drapery fabric!

After I failed to join the crowd of bloggers who have successfully painted horizontal striped drapery panels, I vowed to throw money at the project and track down fabric that would work for what I wanted.

It took quite a bit of googling, but I tracked down fabric with eight inch, black and white, stripes. Now, I need to track down someone to make the drapes for me because I have never touched a sewing machine and don't know the first thing about making drapery panels.

Charlottesville folks, do you know a seamstress who makes window treatments for reasonable rates?

  2. Ta da! It's a Braemore fabric, Sutton Stripe in the color "Domino". Be careful about ordering it without seeing the actual bolt. One year, "Domino" was a black and white striped fabric. The next year, the same color was a tan and black striped fabric. I found this out when I was flipping through books with an employee of a fabric store and we both came across "Sutton Stripe" in "Domino" and we had different fabrics.
