How to make curtains

How to make curtains


Here is how:

First of all you have to measure the window. When you do that you have to be very precise because if you don't measure the window correctly there could be some problems afterwards.

Now you have to determine what is desired length of the valance. These should start with the rod of the curtain. This is probably about 16 inches in deep. It can also be longer it depends on the width of the window.

Then you must lay the fabric on the surface which is totally flat. The front must face down. Then you must measure the width that you prefer the valance on fabric. You can hang a valance directly on the rod. You must add 3 inches to width for every panel of valence. Then cut to the fabric.

Then you have to measure the depth which you desire of the valence on the fabric for curtains. If you got all your measures right fabric will be folded in two pieces. Add 3 inch for hems. Then cut.

Because you have kept the fabric face down you can to measure an inch and a half from every side of material and place pins which are straight throughout the whole length of the material.
Then you have to stage them both together on every side with sewing machine. Then you have to remove all the pins or you can use glue gun for this.

Then you have to turn all fabric on the other side then you have to fault all the corners of the fabric so that all corners meet.Then you have to measure inch and a half from the top of the curtain and then pin. Again Stitch with sewing machine then you have to turn the fabric right side out. The hems must face inside then you have to measure 1 inch from deadline that you just sew. The rod will go here. If you will be placing a rod that is thicker you have to increase the size.

Now you had to pin across the width and stitch everything.Then you slide the rod in and hang the curtains.
