Sleek Handcrafted Blue Applique Curtain

What are the navy motifs?

Large, feathery leaves in navy are scattered across the bright blue base. They are loosely spaced rather than set in a grid, so the pattern feels natural and relaxed, and the navy gives each leaf a crisp, clear shape against the blue.

How bold is blue with navy in a room?

It is a strong but cool combination. Bright blue and navy work well with white walls, natural wood, cane and touches of yellow, orange or white upholstery. In a living room or a study, it becomes the main colour statement, so keep other patterns quieter.

What fabric is it?

It is cotton, with the navy leaves stitched onto the cotton base by applique. That layering of fabric on fabric gives each leaf a slightly raised outline and adds texture to the surface.

How do I care for it?

Gently hand wash it with a mild detergent and wash it separately from other laundry. Dry it in the shade rather than in direct sun. Those are the care steps for this cotton applique curtain.

Is it a good gift?

Yes, it makes a cheerful gift for someone who likes colour. Handcrafted in Barmer by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Khetaram, it brings a piece of handwork and a story into their home.

How is applique done?

In applique, fabric pieces are sewn onto a base fabric to form a design, sometimes layered and sometimes with raw edges. It adds texture and dimension, which is why the scattered navy leaves here look layered onto the blue, each with its own stitched edge.
