When we lived in England, I learned that "glass curtains" were only the sheer fabric that were hung over glass windows. I think perhaps that is what Jo referred to rather than "Fiberglass" curtains. They were usually made of rayon, nylon or sheer cotton. If this is what Jo means, that would make an excellent pillow cover. Am I corrent, jo?

Jo has specified good quality fine woven smooth glass curtains. Please pay attention to quality and wear over time. There is a fiber arts safety organization in the U.S. that determined years ago that Fiberglass (product name in the U.S.) filaments that can infiltrate your skin are dangerous, especially if dirty. Actually, some artists using Fiberglass yarns died of blood poisoning. (snip)If you'd like to know more, Google search "Fiberglass Safety".
