Rich Handcrafted White Applique Curtain (Set of 2)

What pattern is worked into these curtains?

Scrolling florals and small stars run across the full panel, in white on a white base. Since the shapes are the same colour as the ground, the pattern appears through its layered edges and texture, giving a quiet, all-over design rather than a bold one.

Does the fabric have a sheer look?

It looks light and slightly translucent, so the tonal applique reads as a soft pattern rather than a solid surface. It sits naturally in an airy room styled in whites, creams and pale wood, where the gentle texture can be appreciated.

What is in the package?

The package contains a set of two curtains. Each one is 44 x 84 inches, which is about 3.5 x 7 feet, so the pair can dress both sides of one window or door, or hang side by side.

How is applique made?

Applique builds a design by sewing pieces of fabric onto a base fabric, sometimes layered and sometimes with raw edges. On this pair the technique is all about texture: the scrolls and stars sit slightly raised on the cotton, giving depth without adding any colour.

How do I keep them fresh?

Hand wash them gently with a mild detergent, wash them separately, and dry them in the shade. Washing them on their own and by hand is the care these cotton applique curtains call for.

Who made this set?

The set is handcrafted in Barmer by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Khetaram. As each piece is made by hand, small irregularities in stitching and shapes are natural and part of its handmade character.
