Not only are they taking a LONG time, but they aren't turning out as nice as I would like. The problems: 1. The fabric is a loose weave so the paint spreads a little as it soaks into the fabric. It isn't really that bad, but I'm not getting a crisp line. I can probably let that slide. 2. They shrank in the wash, so I am redoing the hem on each one to make it a little longer and the previous hem line isn't disappearing when I iron them. 3. This is my main problem, and Mr. B's too, the tops are SUPER hard to stencil because of all the fabric folds I am trying to stencil over. Stenciling over lumps. So, the paint is bleeding all over the place.
So, really, the mistakes aren't too noticeable at first glance, but if you actually look at them there are pretty obvious mistakes which I'm not too excited about. I really don't want just plain curtains, but I don't want to put up sloppy curtains either. So, what do you think? Continue on, accepting a few mistakes? Or, throw in the towel (curtain?) and then either live with bland curtains, or buy new ones?
