Can you alter them or have them altered sm

so they can be used in another room?

The fabric will determine whether they can be dyed or not. If it is synthetic, even a partial synthetic, then regular dye (like Rit) will not "take" very well. It is possible that there may be industrial dyes that will work, but that could get expensive.

Have you talked to whoever made the draperies for you originally? That might be the best place to start.

My sympathies...your daughter must be at or nearing her teens. Been there, done that (with a son).

  • The problem is that these drapes have pastelly pattern of flowers - sm - dizzi
    • Might be able to use fabric paint on some of the flowers and find a funky trim/border at a - sewing or craft store. Beads, sequins, glass, etc.
  • Will they still match the bedspread if you change them out? ..sm - wanderer
