Teresa Anderson-Briney on Jul 17, 2015If you have the closet space get a expansion rod and put it at the end of the closet and hang the curtains there till you decide what to do with them. Maybe use them to recover cushions or lawn furniture??Helpful Reply

Gabrielle Falk on Jul 18, 2015I'm certainly NOT a sewing person. But would you be able to sew together different squares to make some sort of a patchwork throw, or coverlet for a bed. And then if there is enough left, use that for a lining to give the throw or coverlet 'substance'?Helpful Reply

Happyfeet on Jul 18, 2015My mom had that same problem so in her new house she trimmed the tabs off then created a rod pocket with that iron on stitching stuff, you'd never know they were once tab curtains and she didn't need to spend a ton of money on new ones!Helpful Reply

Julies1949 on Jul 19, 2015If you want to re-use them as curtains, you can cut off the tabs (or simply fold them over to the back, and insert large grommets for a more modern look. If they are too short, add a contrasting panel to the bottom. Make sure it's wide enough so it looks intentional.Helpful Reply
