You could paint a black frieze on the bottom 50cm of your window,or use a series of seasonal collages eg Hween,GFwks,Xmas,Nyear and Easter 2012.Alternatively you could place books on your window sill but they would need to be quite large.failing this tactic buy a measure for future reference.

Aries22 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Buy some matching material and sew it on to bottom like a frill, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muckynees Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 if they're not already tab tops you could get some similar or contrasting fabric and sew tabs at the top or again with the contrasting coloured fabric, sew a panel to the bottom??
