Fantastic tutorial Debbie. Male aged 71 here. Needed some new curtains and decided to have a go. I had an old 'wind-up' Singer but bought a bottom-of-the-range Brother machine which is excellent. Followed your instructions and they have turned out brilliantly. I also opted for a hand-sewn hem. Thanks very much, Nic.

Debbie, great video but I am having trouble with the length of the lining. You cut the lining 3 inches shorter than the main curtain, and line the two fabrics up at the top. Yet on your video the finished lining hangs only 1-2 inches shorter than the finished curtain. My lining hangs too short, the bottom is level with the finished hem line on the main fabric. What am I missing? How deep should the lining hem be? On the video it says sew both hems to the same depth, 1'' then 3'' Thanks, Maggie
@suehalliwell79603 жыл бұрын
Your instructions are very easy to follow, but when I cut the lining 3inches shorter than the curtain fabric I found that the lining finished on the line of the fabric hem, not where yours appeared to finish. In my next ones I only made the lining 2inches shorter, I was much happier with the result.

Thank you Debbie, this is such a helpful video and your explanation make it seem so straightforward. I am about to start sewing a curtain following your instructions and my project is actually a room divider which entails the need for a further curtain to be made facing the opposite direction, ie, back to back. Because the curtain(s) will hang from the same type of pole as used in your video, what would you suggest as a method of connecting the two curtains? Currently I’m thinking about using blackout lining, attached as per your video, to one curtain only, but having the header tape on each of the curtains connected by a double side hook. Would this be the best approach, do you think? Many thanks, Avril

@PianoPerson8022 ай бұрын
Hi Debbie, I really enjoyed your tutorial and successfully made a pair of curtain drapes. They worked out really well except for the mitred corners. So I do have one question on that. If the width of the fabric is 7 inches wider than the lining, that gives 3.5 inches on either side of the curtain, so in effect a 1.75 edge of curtain fabric on either side once the lining is sewn in and the curtain fabric is drawn to the back to create the edge. Surely then the only way to get a properly mitered corner is if the lining is cut only 1.75 inches shorter than the curtain fabric, rather than the 3 inches you mentioned? That is the only query I have. I really loved following your tutorial. Regards from South Africa 🇿🇦
