How To Make Curtains


"Learn how to make curtains with this easy sewing tutorial. Curtains are a great beginner sewing project because it’s only straight lines! One of the best parts about sewing is being able to make exactly what you want. I have been changing decor around and painting walls, and so I was ready for new curtains in our living area. I had made the curtains for these windows originally, but it had been several years and I was ready for a change. I was able to do a little bit of math, find the exact fabric I wanted, and make curtains. I love making curtains because even though it’s a lot of fabric, it’s all straight lines!"
