Swag curtains and tails were most popular some years ago but were usually restricted in use for the upper crust families, manor houses, hotels and up market boutiques; but, with the passage of time and the affordability granted by higher incomes and better
standards of living for middle class Americans, these special curtains have found favor with homeowners for use in rooms where a formal touch is required for window treatment.
Features of swag curtain
Swag curtains have grown and changed
in fabric use and stylizing aspects, but retain the same elegant look. Much like the use of designer pelmets and valances, these tails and swags need to be in exact coordination with window measurements, as out of proportion ones can look tacky instead. The
swags need to be approximately one-sixth of the length of the curtains and the tails need to be one-third and two-thirds the length of the curtains. Sewing swag curtains needs a degree of expertise that beginners may lack, and also making swags and tails in
proportion with the window, takes a lot of time, patience and practice. To ensure that the swag comes out right is to make a swag and tail out of a spare piece of fabric and check out the effect. A swag curtain can be pleated, draped or fixed to a pelmet
board; alternately, two or more swags can be sewn to fit across the width of the pelmet and overlap each other with tassels on the tails or a touch of lace, for a regal look.
The tails in swag curtains can overlap the end swags and conceal the pelmet
board to give a clean finish; this style requiring pleats so the lining shows right side up and is backed in a contrasting/coordinating material. For these simple swags, the material can be cut on the straight of grain to make them easy to work along.
The
unique beauty and grace of swag curtains
Swag curtains can lend an aura of value and elegance to a room with styling and clever use of fabrics, cords, lace trimmings and tassels, bringing dignity and beauty to the theme of a room while allowing sunlight
to pass through the center, as they are placed on either side of a window. Swag curtains are available in a variety of fabrics, prints and solid colors; used with valances or privacy tiers, these can dress up kitchen, bedroom and living room windows like nothing else can.
