Maybe heavier curtains in winter for drafty windows.

On 4/5/2014 ThinkOutsideTheBox said: Style Snaps or Snap n Hem would be perfect for your purpose. Particularly for your drapes, since you are likely to set them and leave them for a while. Do a Google. Also, perhaps with something like this (http://www.amazon.com/STAINLESS-STEEL-RULER-HEM-CLIPS/dp/B00528IGRE) to help get the length just so while the curtains are still hanging?

This is a GREAT idea! Wish I thought of it!

Get some fabric glue at the fabric store. You can glue the hem. If you have the right kind of iron, first pin the hems, then put a crease in them with an iron and then glue them.

It won't take long. Try the glue in the corner first to make sure you like the look. Or you could try the glue on a piece of fabric.

Just let them puddle. If your cat damages them it will be down low and no one will see it. You don't need to stress on it.
