The Sewing Room

Not sure if anyone has any ideas but I won some gold taffeta curtains on eBay. The width of each is 3m and with a 2m drop I am going to alter one to fit the whole of my window but am after some ideas of what I could make with the surplus.

I am a novice so ideas need to be simple! I have thought about draw string bags but when I google all I get are dresses which are out of my league!

Cushions to match ? Could you use it to make some sort of Christmas bunting or stockings?
