Make Your Own Curtains
My son wanted horse curtains and they are expensive to buy. Instead I used a 50% off curtain at the fabric store and made them myself.
FYI: This post has 18 pictures and a lot of words.
This is my “pattern.” It’s wrinkled from being carried around in my purse and clenched in my hand while shopping for material.
First measure your window vertically and horizontally. The general rule to determine how much material you need is to take the width of your window times 2 or 2.5. That will give your curtain the extra drape it need to look nice. So I needed 2 panels 45 inches wide. Since material comes in 44 inches I just needed to figure the length I need.
To determine the length needed: Subtract the length of the tab from the length of the window. Add inches for the hem at top and bottom. Take that amount times 2 and that is the length of the yardage you need.
