Product Information

Please Note: Should you find that your finished curtains are slightly creased then before hanging them you may decide to iron them. For small windows with an inset rod, it is important to measure the length accurately so the curtain hangs well and doesn't fold over at the bottom. By doing this, you’re simultaneously stitching down the eyelet tape and hemming the top of the curtain panel.

Note that if your pattern match is not a “straight match” (the pattern is not exactly horizontally matched to the next drop) you can’t swap the half widths in this way. Sew the weights to the fabric using a handheld needle and thread and fold the hem for the second time, ironing once more. That the tabs are perfectly spaced and the mesh material helps you form perfect vertical curtain pleats is bonus awesome. If you’d like more guidance than just a tutorial, take a look at Sewing Custom Curtains and Draperies with Susan Woodcock class on Craftsy.You’ll still get the drama of extra-long curtains, but you’ll save a little money on the curtain yardage.

First of all, before you can learn how to make curtains, check you have all of the tools and materials you will need. Made from polyester, this panel pair of curtains features cutout stars that let light into your room with a playful touch.Sewing curtains is definitely an easy project, but you may have difficulty using sewing machines or needles and still be interested in homemade curtains!

Signature Signature Blackout Velvet Curtains: Add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your home décor with our Signature Blackout Velvet Curtains. You’ll learn about the internal pieces that will give your window treatments a polished look, so you can create curtains that go beyond great fabric.Finish off the hem by stitching the facing down along the sides and across the pressed edge of the facing. Pin the fabric and sew as close as you can to the folded-in edge of the hem, this time two inches from the edge of the fabric, and make sure to use a backstitch for this hem as well if you’re using a handheld needle. With the wrong side still facing you, fold your top hem down by two inches, iron, then fold down another two inches and iron again, repeating what you did with the side hems but with a longer length.

Before you start, test a few scraps of your fabric to get the machine tension and stitch length correct.

To calculate the length of your fabric, measure from the floor to the top of your curtain rod then multiply it by how many panels you need. You may have “waste” to cut off from the second drop, which is the redundant part of the pattern repeat. However, you’ll need to replace it with fusible fabric tape, a type of adhesive that bonds fabric together permanently when ironed: there are many brands of fusible tape, and any that you prefer will work so long as they’re able to bond fabric.
