Sewing advice

Sounds absolutely ideal MOnica I didn’t even know lead string existed. Thank you so much.

My dressmaker Auntie used to put coins in stitched pockets around the hems of flimsy dresses.

Perhaps bias binding along the bottom would do the trick?

tying - should be typing

How about that fine lead string you can buy to weight down curtains. It is like a thin cord and can just be threaded through the hem.

Any good soft furnishings shop should have it or ebay.

Link above seems incredibly long, but it was copied directly off the ebay site. Try going into ebay and just tying curtain weighted cord.
