Hello friend @mipiano , nice work!
The curtains are beautiful, I like the light coming in. It's true what you say when we do handwork we appreciate the work of others more and feel great satisfaction in doing it ourselves. Even if those thoughts of why not pay come, it would have saved me more time than money.
I recommend that you tie them up, every time you sweep or pass coleto, so you don't get more dirt on the edge.
