[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back when I was single and a new homeowner, I make my own pole-top curtains using inexpensive bedsheets and they looked pretty nice. I even used a white bedsheet as a liner so there were two layers in front of the window. I made matching tiebacks that could pull back one or both layers of the curtains. It was very easy since everything is a rectangle. The guide for pole-top curtains is to make the width 2.5-3 times the width of the window so they bunch up nicely on the pole. I don't have a website to show you but it was wildly easy to do. The sheets I used were literally off the clearance rack and it's not like you need 400-count sheets for curtains.[/quote]
PP here. Here's a website that has an easy curtain tutorial. Back when I made these curtains, I just made up my own thing. It was similar to what's in the tutorial but I just made one long rod pocket a couple inches below the top and the liner was only attached to the printed fabric at the top so I could tie back one or both layers.
