There is nothing as lovely as a breeze catching the edge of a curtain and watching the fabric billow around.
Window treatments have come along way over the years. What is available to us today is remarkable. The fabric manufacturer's have worked hard to bring us a wide variety of fabric styles, colors, prints and trims. Not to mention the actual materials that fabric is made from today, everything from Silks to Cottons as well as synthetics. The current popular look is simple clean and uncluttered. Many of the most popular design stores carry off the rack versions, however they can be pricey. At Mary Jo Cloth we have fabric that is a good heavy weight, beautiful, easy to work with and very affordable.
