Lightweight silk/rayon window panels for these 11'tall windows.
no sewing involved
At the top, I used clip hooks. It is so tall, you cannot see the unfinished edge.
The bottom puddles on the floor so, once again, the unfinished edge is not visable.
This fabric from N.Y. Elegant Fabrics

Heavier silk dupioni for the bedroom of the same apartment
