Description
These Birdie Stripe curtains take a simple vertical stripe and give it a wavy edge, alternating bands of soft pink and sage green running the full drop of each panel. The stripes are edged with a scalloped, zig-zag line where the two colours meet, which is what gives the pattern its gentle, handdrawn character. The face cloth is 100% cotton, a lightweight natural fibre that hangs with a soft, easy fold rather than a stiff drape. They are sold as a pair and fitted with a pencil pleat header, the gathered tape that pulls up to create even, upright folds along the top and works on either a track or a pole.
The pattern was drawn from the much-loved Birdie bedding, so these curtains sit naturally in a bedroom, and the pink and green tones lend themselves to a relaxed, characterful scheme rather than a formal one. The most notable feature is the ruffle skirt: a gathered frill along the bottom of each panel that adds a little length and a lot of charm. It suits a room where you want softness and personality, and it pairs happily with painted furniture, botanical prints and warm neutral walls. Sizes run from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so measure your track or pole width and your desired drop before choosing.
Each panel is fully lined, which adds body to the drape and helps with privacy and reducing daylight. The lining is a polyester and cotton blend, chosen to hang well behind the cotton face. Being pure cotton on the face, the fabric is best treated gently to keep the colours fresh and the ruffle neat. Hang them where the frill can fall clear of the floor, and let the folds settle over the first few days after hanging.
