One is cut out and ready to sew, the other is in the works. I have used bed sheets to cover furniture pillows and a full skirt dress from the 50 to make a beautiful, very large bag to carry my crochet supplies but I have not used curtains. Next time I am at Marshall's or Bed, Bath, and Beyond I will be alert for suitable material for another project. Thanks for the idea.
