The Search for the Right Curtain Pattern 2008

The Search for the Right Curtain Pattern 2008

Some people in need of curtains prefer not to find them at the local department store. Instead, they prefer the challenge of making their own curtains. For these people, the process starts with finding the perfect pattern. And there's good news: Today, there are scores of patterns available for you to use, on everything from valances to panels.

The first place to look for the perfect pattern might be your local fabric store. Nearly all of them carry curtain patterns. Spend an hour or so visiting them and browsing through their pattern books. Usually, once you find a few patterns you like, you'll be led to a filing cabinet, where you'll look for the number or numbers that you selected. This tells you and the store clerk if your preferred patterns are in stock or not.

Of course, in the Internet Age, another source for curtain patterns is the Worldwide Web. It takes just minutes to visit Google or Yahoo and do a search for "curtain patterns." The search will produce dozens of places that sell patterns online. The best sites will show good quality pictures of the patterns that you can examine before buying.

One final option is to create your own pattern. In most cases, you can do your own from muslin material for mere pocket change. Again, advice for how to do this can usually be found on the Internet by doing a Google or Yahoo search for the keywords, "curtain pattern muslin."

If you're not the creative sort or just don't have the patience for do-it-yourself projects, buying ready-made curtains is always a possibility. But if you have time, patience, and a little creativity, making your own curtain pattern will be an experience you'll appreciate, and you'll appreciate the curtains a bit more, too.
