Even though its kind of dusty around here, Im hoping to be adding more soon. I hope Ive been able to answer all your questions some other very helpful folks have also left answers in their comments Ive tried to incorporate most of these into the tutorial but feel free to ask any more that Ive missed. I read and appreciate each one Now go enjoy your beautiful curtains Making your own curtains is easy peasy, and making lined curtains is just one step up from the plain ol kind and lined curtains last longer, provide a better screen for hot sunlight, and probably have some other benefits Im not thinking of right now. One side effect I didnt really expect is that making your own curtains is also very gratifying. I would recommend it on that point alone, although I also very much appreciate the economical points as well. In my world of work that is constantly undone, its so nice to have something that I can look at that I can think to myself, YeahI did that And look Its still done Kind of hard to wrap my mind around, come to think of it. Anyway, as I go from changing a diaper to washing the dishes, its nice to have a reminder that some of my efforts stick around for a bit longer. When buying fabric for curtains, I recommend splurging and buying the fabric that you really want, not just whatever is cheapest. I know its sometimes hard, it is for me anyway to buy the nice upholstery weight fabric when just yards away heehee Im a bit punchy tonight is sitting a perfectly alright fabric for half the price or less. But this curtain is going to make a huge impact on your room. So go for the stuff you really like if youre watching your pennies, you can wait for a sale or coupon. Buy your liner fabric based on the intensity of the light you are trying to block. They sell black out liner, good especially in bedrooms where you want to block out the maximum amount of light. I just bought the regular stuff perfect for my purposes. For this tutorial, Ive used the measurements I used to make floor length curtains for my own window, which is 6. However, you can easily adapt these instructions for any size window. Also, please read through the instructions before you start you may find something I did that you would rather do differently and need to adjust accordingly. Cut your fabric. I want my curtains to be a little long so I cut my decorative fabric hereafter referred to as DF 9. DF at the bottom, and 4 less on either side, leaving room for a 7 hem at the bottom of each, and 4 6 for the rod pocket at the top. UPDATE A handy rule of thumb here figure out how long you want your finished curtain to be, then add the extra inches you need for your rod pocket at the top and your hem at the bottom in this case, my formula for the DF looked like this fabric length finished length 4rod 7hem. Then you can figure out the measurements for the liner fabric based on that. Also, Sheila comment 5. Now you get to start the fun part sewing Hem both the DF and the liner. With the wrong side facing you and the edge of the fabric intended for the lower edge of the drape pointed toward you, fold the bottom edge up 2 and press, then 5 more and press. Now you are going to do something called a blind hem. If youve never done one before, this video by Jenny T. I dont know who she is, but she makes a mean how to video is a helpful tool to give you an idea of what it is and how to do it note The video says to do this hem you need to get a special blind hem foot for your sewing machine. In actuality, you dont really need a special foot to do this hem, but I imagine it would be helpful. When I did this project I actually didnt realize there was such a thing as a blind hem foot, and just used my regular presser foot, while sewing carefully I think I used the inside curve of the foot as a guide. My hem was perhaps a teensy bit more wobbly than it would have been otherwise, but I think it turned out fineHeres my hem, all set up for me to sew it up with my super special blind hem stitch Actually I have a very basic machine, so I imagine nearly all machines have this stitch or something comparable or better. But dont tell my sewing machine. E5200 Drivers Download on this page. It thinks that its a super special blind hem stitch, and we might as well let it. It just makes my sewing machine so happy. If all this nonsense about blind hems just makes your head hurt, just do a regular hem follow step 1 as directed, and then just go ahead and sew a straight seam across. I do encourage you to try, though it wasnt as hard as I thought it would be, and it gave me a great sense of accomplishment. And I learned how to sew a blind hem Now, sew up the sides with a 12 seam allowance. This isnt tricky at all just turn both your DF and the liner right side together as if you were making a pillow, and sew up both sides. Make sure you match up the edges of the fabric from the top down. You will end up with extra DF at the bottom and center. This is okay. Its all part of the plan. I like lots okay, 2 of extra DF at the bottom I think I saw a hanging curtain like that once I dont know if theres a reason for the extra fabric, but if you prefer less, you can plan accordingly cut more liner, or hem it up less. Turn everything right side out, and press. You will have extra DF make your crease with 2 on either side of the extra DF. This is where the extra 2 in the cutting guide image above comes in handy. Take a look at it if youre confused. Next, you want to sew a seam all the way down both sides, to hold the crease you just made in place. Lastly, make the pocket for your curtain rod. Fold the top both the liner fabric and the DF over 1 and press, and 3 more inches and press again. Sew along the bottom of this tube, making a tube that is about 3 tall. Yay Youre done Hang your curtain and step back and admire your brilliant and lasting handiwork Feel free to add your own recommendations andor corrections to my instructions in the comments I really appreciate these, so dont hold backFiled Under From the Blog.
