Make your own Curtains

When we go shopping for curtains there are many different
styles and designs. And you might not like them or it's not
what you had in mind. The price of those curtains are
outrageous you have to buy one panel it doesn't come with
two panels that's what gets me frustrated. But I am going
to let you in on how to make your own curtains. You can
go to any store that sells fabric and pick out your own.
Make sure you do measurements on your windows so you
get enough fabric with a little extra.

If you want to make curtains with rings you need to stitch
an approximately 3-inch hem at the edge of the curtain
panels that are going to be hung. Now, sew each ring to
each curtain panel leaving small distances between the
rings so that the curtain is pulled easily. You can also
use clip-on rings that don’t need to be stitched and are
easier to apply.

For tied tab curtains you will need to create the hangers.
Simply stitch horizontal buttonholes at the top of the
curtain panel. Now you can make the hangers using the
same fabric as the curtains, or another but suitable
fabric for a little diversity. Make threads and place
through the buttonholes. I make a lot of my curtains, not
only does it save you money but you can design the look
that you want.
