Making your own DIY curtains may seem intimidating but with only a few basic sewing skills and a space to work, you can learn How to Make Lined Drapes like a pro.

In this video tutorial from Krista West, she shows you exactly how to make lined curtains step by step so that you can do it for your own drapery.

The biggest challenge is having the space to lay out and move the drapes as you press and sew. However, Krista shares lots of tips for moving around this large piece of fabric without hassle.

Another resource is the lined drapery measurement sketch that's an optional addition for a couple of dollars.
