The curtains -- really 2 valances -- DD bought for her nursery [Sarah Grace due May 18] have 14 silk tab-tops, each about 2"W x 5 1/2" H. She asked me to fix the valances so that a rod will go through the casing, which was no problem. But she doesn't want to do away w/ the tab-tops altogether, and I don't blame her. Her idea is to cut them in half length-wise, knot the two halves, and flop them forward. The result looks like floppy bunny ears, very cute, but the silk material ravels like crazy. Not acceptable. Everything I can think of to remedy the problem is WA-A-A-Y too much trouble, esp. having to repeat the process 14 times. The only easy way would be to buy a matching piece of silk, cut 14 matching tab-tops, sew them next to existing tab-tops, then knot and flop. Problem, I'm sure, will be matching the color.

Any better ideas? TIA, chery2
