Updated Ticking 24-Inch Window Curtain Tier Pair in Spice

My husband and I LOVE our new kitchen curtains! The ticking stripe style and subdued colors match our vintage 1948 kitchen perfectly! The fabric is heavy enough to block the most intense morning sunshine, but delicate enough to still let in light and brighten up our kitchen. The quality of the cotton and craftsmanship is excellent! Be aware that these are 100% cotton, and as is typical, the length did shrink one or two inches with the first wash. But, as you can see in the attached photo, now the curtains fit above the window sill perfectly as I had hoped! This is my first online review, but felt that I had to comment because some reviews have mentioned that the curtains are sewn backwards with the "right" side reversed. But, those reviewers must not understand that a ticking stripe fabric is supposed to be of subdued colors, and therefore, the "right" side of the fabric IS the side that is less bright than the "wrong" side. The craftsmanship is sewn accurately as is! Also, some reviewers have complained that the lengths of individual panels may not be exactly the same. Mine were fine. But, a length discrepancy of unwashed 100% cotton fabric may be easily adjusted by washing the fabric, and while wet, pulling the shorter panel on the bias and lengthwise of the fabric until it matches the length of the longer panel. ENJOY!

The curtains were much lighter in color than the picture. Also one curtain was longer than the other. I received replacements and one was wider than the other.

The curtains are sewn incorrectly. The nice side is sewn as the back and the front that you see is pale and washed out. I had to rip out the seams and sew the whole thing again. DO NOT BUY these!

I needed a curtain for my window on my back door. I purchased just the tiers and one was perfect. The material is really nice and gives privacy. I will save the other tier for later when I wash them.

Okay, I'll admit that I was looking for something just to cover the windows and I did put these up. But, as I was doing so the reverse side of the fabric has the finished edges. The front of the fabric has all the sewing lines and folds for the hems and rod pockets. I'll fix that as I go along. I think that most people would return them, thinking they would have been made wrong.

These curtains were hemmed incorrectly. The inside of the fabric was folded to the outside and hemmed. Poor quality control. Liked the fabric and color, but unfortunately I had to return these to my local Bed, Bath and Beyond Store. Would hesitate to order another pair. These should never have passed inspection.
