[quote=Anonymous]I just made curtains for my bedroom. It took me forever but they look very nice and professional. I had found a swatch of fabric I liked and I was able to track it down and order online from one of those places that sells "to the trade" fabrics" to regular people. My fabric was a nice linen and easy to work with. My previous experience was in making sheers, which seem like they would be easy but were brutal. Tips: I had one of those pinwheel pizza-style fabric cutters, which made cutting much easier than with scissors, and I used the cutter mat to cut and iron on the floor. One of the hardest parts is handling so much fabric. I hemmed by hand because I get a bunchy look if I try using a machine. And I did a 8" double hem which looks very nice and helps the drapes hang right. I cut my lining to be slightly narrower and slightly shorter than the finished fabric so the finished fabric would "wrap around" the edge by about 1/2" and end about 4" above the lining. I found a lot of tutorials online and used parts of different ones.[/quote]
