Oh I love burlap curtains!!! Here's what I found out
" For curtains, I usually like to have anywhere from 1.5 to 2 times the fabric to give the right amount of ‘poof’. I.E. for a window that’s 32″ wide I’d use anywhere from 48-64″. Since I’m not much of a poofy girl, I generally stay closer to 1.5.
With burlap (and similar annoying fabrics) stay with whatever width hits within that 1.5-2 range. If two widths of burlap isn’t enough, then use four panels. You could stitch the two panels on each side together with a simple side-by-side zigzag stitch." - http://pattybrower.com/2014/10/three-tips-for-sewing-burlap-drapes-plus-a-step-by-step/
When I make burlap curtain strips to tie onto a rod 2 or 2-1/2 inches is a good size, I cut them with a pinking rotary cutter to cut down on fraying and you may want them to lie rather flat (not gathered) so keep that in mind. I also mix lace strips to allow more light thru. www.craftybynaturestore@ETSY.com
