Q: I've fallen in love with these John Robshaw curtains but can't afford the price tag so I'm trying to find some fabric to make them. So far I've had no luck. Can anyone suggest any moderately priced leads online or in NYC?

Go to Mood Fabrics in Manhattan. They are on 37th Street off Broadway. You'll have to look up the address.

The Iznik Tile Print at West Elm looks similar but not as blue- half the price of those other curtains.

You can also try fabric.com. They have a HUGE selection and free return shipping. I know it's not super similar, but I quickly found this in the clearance section by typing "navy" in the search box: http://www.fabric.com/home-decor-fabric-designer-home-decor-fabric-premier-prints-home-decor-fabric-premier-prints-indoor-outdoor-fabric-premier-prints-indoor-outdoor-ozborne-deep-blue.aspx?cm_vc=756b1813-cbc1-43b3-84bd-29889bf8fb7b
Michael Miller makes a pretty black and white cotton in a similar design, with the eiffel tower. At only 8.99 yd. You could get the same look.

I've been sitting here for 10 minutes with my phone out trying to scan that QR code only to learn that it's a fabric pattern.

I met fabric only you could have someone make simple panels. I had curtains made for my cabin took the fabric to China Town and had them made for almost nothing.
West Elm often has similar but the panels are always not very wide so you need to double up on them just to cover the window without it looking like a shower curtain.
forgot one more very Robshaw
