Show Shifting Curtains Around Makes Them Last Longer Curtains hung at windows exposed to bright light or sunshine will give out first. Sunlight causes the fabric to lose its strength. It is a good plan to make top and bottom hems of the same width and then reverse them each time they are washed or cleaned. Curtains from sunny windows win-dows can be shifted occasionally to the shady side of the house. Sheets usually wear thin first in the upper center, so reverse them from head to foot occasionally. Mend all snags promptly. Stitch together the outside out-side edges of sheets worn thin in the middle, split them down the center and hem the edges. - |
