Here are some commonly asked questions:
How to do motif matching on drapery fabrics--see my How to Make Curtains video
My iron--Hi Steam SVP-24 (they're not cheap, but they're fabulous!)
Drapery hardware info & installation--please see Lined drapery how-to Part 2
Drapery pins--you can buy drapery pins on Amazon--lots of sizes and prices
Portrait mode--I am sorry this video is in portrait mode. Honestly, I was just making drapes one day and my husband thought it would make a good video :) I never thought so many people would watch it (but I'm grateful you have!)
Interfacing the top of the drapery panel--I use iron-on fusible interfacing and cut it into 3 inch strips. It is more flexible than traditional drapery "crinoline". You don't have to use it, but it does give your drapes a bit more professional finish and protects your fabric from being torn by the drapery pins.
How to position the drapery pins--after I make the drape, I lay it flat on a table, wrong side up, and then put a drapery pin in each end (about 1/2" in from the end). I then figure out how many drapery rings I have and space out the rest of the drapery pins accordingly. I like to have about 5-7" between pins.

USE THIS TUTORIAL! I followed this step by step and my curtains have turned out BEAUTIFULLY! I did not use the curtain pins…I just bought the clip hoops and clipped them to the top of the curtain…my fabric was a but too delicate for the pins. There is a curtain tape you can buy for the top of curtains but I did not do that. If you want to try this, just make sure you measure everything carefully and watch this video several times then watch it as you sew. Iron, iron, iron then iron again. Make sure your fabric is ironed BEFORE cutting your fabric so you get a nice square piece without bunching. Manhandling the fabric and cutting it is the most difficult part of the process. My fabric was 108 inches wide (it was quilt wideback) so I cut it on the fold on the floor. I used my knee pads a lot! Cut your lining fabric 4 inches narrower than your main fabric and cut it the same length as your finished curtain length…as she says, but is kind of hidden in the video….these turned out perfectly! Thanks so much for the tutorial.

Krista, I became emotional just watching this video. You are very gifted at describing and teaching and you do it in such a succinct way. I’m thrilled to have your instructions. Although I’m experienced at sewing, I’ve never had a professional knowledge and have just given it a try! Your instructions will help me to do my draperies the professional way. I typically lose interest while watching tutorials, because the presenter is slow and tedious in their presentation, but your speed and accuracy at describing makes a project so much more expedient and enjoyable. I’m excited and can’t wait to get started. We are renovating a 1720 hacienda in Mexico with many bedrooms and are using such gorgeous fabrics, which make my projects somewhat daunting, but after watching you, I know I can do this! Thank you for this gift you’ve provided for all of us!

Thank you so much for showing us how to make curtains! I wonder if, one day, you could just video a one panel, small lined curtain? My brain is not functioning properly anymore, and I suffer from short term memory loss. I learnt to make curtains this way in the past, but I have to keep being reminded in what order to do things. I short, sharp video would be so wonderful!!

This video is amazing, Krista is wonderful. I did it! Pink toile blackout lined drapes with fabric I have been holding onto for 20 years. I never used it because I only have very basic sewing skills and didn't want to waste the fabric. Krista, they say you never know how one kind word or gesture can change someone's day or life. On that note, please know that this was much more than a tutorial and made a huge impact on my life for very deep reasons you would never imagine. Thank you so much. Now, onto cafe curtains! P.S. Aww, the thrill of slipping the curtain off the ironing board and seeing it for the first time can't be beat!! Savor that moment folks!🥰

I know exactly what you mean about the huge impact, the inner impact this has had on you. I feel the same way. I have had fabrics that are so wonderful that I cherish them for their beauty, sometimes for sentimental reasons, and I hesitate to even cut into them. For various reasons, Krista’s video has impacted me even emotionally. It takes me back to the times I learned methods from mother, grandmother, and aunts, all excellent seamstresses. It helps me to know I, too, can do this. And it’s such an immense joy to see someone working within all their gifts and talents and expertise, the way Krista is.

I bought several duvet covers at the Salvation Army Thrift Store and they have a nice fabric on one side and a plain fabric on the other side (a ready made fabric and liner). I bought them to make lined drapery for my living room window. I have bought several second hand books on how to make curtains. They all explained measuring the window and simple curtains (so simple a 5-year old can make them with no instructions). None of them explained anything understandable for lined drapes and I have been so frustrated with these duvet covers on hand and no way to turn them into lined drapes. Thank you!

I went with tab-top after originally planning to do a simple rod pocket, and had the confidence to alter my plans accordingly. Your followup showing how your drapes got hung is giving me ideas about my living and family rooms, too. Thank you, and hoping you post more videos of your projects.

Oh how funny! I was just thinking about you this morning and remembering how you and your little girl (who is not so little now I'm sure!) used to pick me on Sunday mornings for Divine Liturgy back when I was a graduate student at PSU studying, among other things, Arabic. A few days ago I made a basic lined curtain panel for a kitchen cabinet (my first sewing project after years of being too ill to sew) and it just didn't look nice and crisp like I wanted it to. So I hopped on Google to find a video to show me how to do it right and here you are! And yes, as everybody is saying, it IS a great video. Very clear, very useful (unlike so much else on here!). Thanks so much for the video and it's so lovely to see you! Hope you and Father Alban are well.

I’ve never enjoyed watching some sew more than this video! You kept it moving and gave a lot of good information. drapery has been my “Waterloo” for too long! One thing on the thread clipping that I found works along with what your do; I clip close on the right side first, then when I turn it over and pull-up the other thread, I tug it a bit and that usually pulls that tail inside the hem to hide it the I clip.

This is a GREAT video!! You are a great teacher and very pleasant to listen to. The camera work is great also. I love all the tips you give. And I love the patch in your table with the note from your dad, how sweet 💕 I just got a barely used JUKI from Facebook marketplace. And I am going to make drapes as my first project this weekend! I’m sure you make it look easier than it is, hehe, but this is the most helpful video I have found. Thank you so much!!

EXCELLENT Video.... Very to the point & direct directions. We are building a new house & I have 11' ceilings and need 4 panels. I am scared to find out what someone would charge to make the custom drapes but yet intimidated on making them myself. I want the lining & the fabric to lay well & not bulky. I am afraid my hems would give it away that they are "homemade". Maybe I will try for a smaller window in the bedroom 1st. Thank you... I WILL be visiting your channel again. I have subscribed!!

Thanks so much, Krista for the fantastic video! My son recently moved into a condo with very tall ceilings, and I want to sew lined draperies for his living room and master bedroom as a housewarming gift. I watched several how-to videos, but yours was the one that took me from "Uhm, I THINK I can do this...?" to "Oh, I definitely can do this!" Appreciate the clear, concise, step-by-step information, demonstration and tips. Thanks you for giving me the confidence to tackle this project. FABULOUS VIDEO!!!

Like saving a broken needle to push extra fabric under the needle when sewing - great tip! Thanks for the clear and helpful demonstration.

I just recently found your video on how to sew lined draperies. I made a set for the first time following your video, which I continually went back to watch as I sewed the draperies. You did an excellent job showing us amateurs how to do it. I was able to sew both panels in one afternoon. I was hoping to be able to post a picture of them, but I don't see that option. Thank you.

Well, I logged my 10000 hours at the sewing machine quite awhile ago, so it does help make it look easy :)

Nice work. I used the pin s on the header when I made silk panels. Now I like to use a tape that has strings to pull and get a draping. I find that I have to use 11/2 panels to drape a 77” span. All the cutting of lining and matching of drapery fabrics makes me a little muddled. You make it look easy. I do need a bigger table. Mine is only 40” wide and 75 in long. I really enjoyed your work and I do need a little help with the math. I get afraid to cut because I don’t want to make a mistake Thanks again, and I agree that drapery on windows are beautiful when done correctly.

Glad it helped! It's not difficult sewing, you just have to do the seams in the correct order and it's kind of counter-intuitive. Thanks for watching!
