    Easy fixed...chop off the long one to match the other then pick a solid colour from the print and add it on the bottom. Voila! Designer curtains and you can practice your measuring!

    That's so funny. I know we have all been caught in that spot at one time or the other. So cute of you to share with us. I giggled. I have done that too. Tomorrow is a brand new day... Thanks again for the smiles and giggle.

    Oh my! LOL...I've done things like this myself! Laughter is like medicine, so that's a good thing. You can either shorten the curtains, or add more fabric (solid color maybe?) to the bottom (first straighten it). It's an easy fix at least! Thanks for sharing!
    Kind Regards,

    Fortunately, a chair lives in front of it so I can take my time fixing it.

    But .... another confession... I didn't have a curtain rod so I nailed the curtains up. I think they'll stay like that until I move in June or July! LOL
