A word of caution with the Ikea grommet white cotton drapes. I had purchased 2 packages some time ago and more recently 5 additional packages (I need to stop the bleed-through light at the edges of our roller blinds - we have lots of windows in our bedroom). First two packages were great - extra long and I had to cut off about 18" and was able to do a 4" blind hem. The newer panels were much shorter and after hemming 2 panels with a 3" hem, found the next panel only had 1 1/2" to work with for a hem. Needless to say, lots of ripping out and changing hem style! If you are needing more than one package, hang them all before you start to hem. The newer packages were a lighter weight cotton and not as long or as wide. They are still great value for the price though!
