I know I'm late to the drop cloth party, but decided it was time to try them out as a fabric choice. I read extensively on the web about using them before I started. I ended up purchasing two of these drop cloths from Sherwin-Williams.
After the research, I was prepared for all of the ironing necessary; but that turned into nothing more than a little steam pressing. What I didn't expect was after five trips through the washer and dryer, the hems were frayed in spots.
So, it was necessary to go ahead and sew normal hems -- one inch on the sides and three inches on the bottom rather than just using the narrow hems that were there.
In the end I think this worked to my advantage; because with the heftier hems, the curtains hang really well.
I'm really pleased with the weight, color, and texture of the drop cloths. And, of course, the price can't be beat.
I knew these panels needed to be simple, as there is a lot going on in this guest room. The mini-makeover of the room is continuing!
