@@louisebastard2091 I'm trying to make a little curtain to hide the mail slot that is in my door. I gather at the top like an apron and sew the belt to it, as well. I attach strip magnets to the belt to hang them (my door is metal). I need a lining because the light shines through. So your video was perfect. That dyslexia drives me crazy, too. I thought you may like to use this idea for one of your videos. 😃

Thank you. I’ve never made curtains, just know how to stitch straight with the machine. My biggest trouble is getting the fabric cut straight so thanks for all the tips! Found some beautiful fabric but can’t afford to hire them made so here I go!

Thank you

[@donaunsworth5620]

Brilliant tutorial Thankyou. As I'm a novice sewer. Can you suggest a way of ironing on a satin type fabric for the clean edge please? I'm about to embark a massive task of making two sets of curtains which are nearly 13ft long. One will have eyelet headers and will be lined. The other unlined as dress curtains. I'm hesitant to even cut the fabric let alone sew. I know I must be MAD but cannot afford for anyone else to make them for me. I don't have a huge table either so it'll be a nightmare. Any tips at all will be appreciated. Thank you so much.

[@louisebastard2091]

when working with satin I found use a damp cloth hope that helps so for so long a reply only seen now and use the cardboard it will keep it straight

[@user-mr3cq2jp2f]

22:28 Hi! I am a newbie. I have watched this video 5 or 6 times and I still can’t quite understand what happens to the bit of extra material in the lining when you pin both sides all the way down and the lining is slightly more narrow than the fabric. I know it must be something to do with those center pins but I am SO confused. Some one help me please!

[@JustinDOehlke]

I couldn't understand the process altogether well, but I found this video helpful nonetheless. Perhaps more experience would serve me right.

[@louisebastard2091]

if you are suck just ask the question and I will see if I can help

[@CookieZ3353]

Does the herringbone stitch hold up to dry cleaning?

[@louisebastard2091]

If you have done it right yes make sure you have knotted the ends well

[@monicamcmahon6887]

I have a question, if my curtain pole is 385cms long and my curtain fabric is 150 cms wide in order to make 2 curtains will I need 5.6 fabric widths per curtain or will 3 suffice it just seems an awful lot but I want curtains that are quite full when hung up

[@louisebastard2091]

depending on how full you want the curtains to look you would need 2 and half drops but I would to save money go 2 drops per side and I see you brought heavy lining which will give it a fuller look 2 drop each side

[@monicamcmahon6887]

@@louisebastard2091 Thanks for the belated reply. Made the curtains using 2 and a half widths, and although that seemed an awful lot of curtain,they actually looked perfect. Unfortunately I abandoned the bonded lining as it was too thick and I just couldn’t use it, my sewing machine and arms couldn’t cope, because the curtain fabric was a heavy linen material .

[@monicamcmahon6887]

I mistakenly bought bonded lining and find it extremely heavy what on earth are they useful for

[@louisebastard2091]

sorry for the delay but bonded lining is a thick lining with all the benefits of regular blackout lining, but also adding a bonded fleece, which will make your curtains or blinds look fuller also keeps draft out

[@kawaljitkaur3753]

How measures Window and curtains in width, how much extra cloth we need

[@louisebastard2091]

if the window measure 1 metre wide i will on each side have it a metre wide so it is double does that make sense

[@newt1834]

What iron brand are you using please?

[@louisebastard2091]

have tried to see the name and can not see but I will find out for you it is a great iron you can iron anything and not shining marks iron trousers like a dream

[@louisebastard2091]

it is comel they are really great irons had mine over 10 years and for 10 years on all the time from 8am to 5pm

[@borleyboo5613]

I’m sure the instructions are clear; but I got utterly lost and confused. I’d have to watch many times and bit by bit to follow it.

[@louisebastard2091]

if you get stuck let me know and i will see if i can talk you though it :)

[@heatherdarby5359]
