A friend had red curtains that were beginning to fade from the sun.
She replaced them but couldn't part with the fabric. Opportunity
knocked. She made a Wooden Soldier Costume for a Christmas Parade from
them.

Hi! Dawn
I will put my hand up and admit that I am the same! I have even
bought a pair of second hand curtains to make into an Elizabethan
costume - I had little to spend on fabric, as Christmas was coming up.
The same costume had what was a luxury bedding sheet as the skirt
contrast! I have a pair of red velvet curtains in my lounge which I
am dying to cut up, but I won't as it belonged to my late Grandmother,
though every so often when I open them, I imagine the Elizabethan I
could make!
All the best
