I put myself thru college working at a custom made drapery shop. We made all kinds of curtains, pillows, and bedspreads. My favorite curtain is a pinch pleated sheets. Your video brought back some very nice memories. I still do my home curtains and now my kids home’s as well.
Hi, That's great to hear! We're very happy that our video has brought back some nice memories for you. Are there any other videos you'd like to see us make? Kind regards, Just Fabrics
Best tutorial I have ever seen. I am learning to make curtains because my window is 13 feet high and if store bought or custom made would have cost me an arm and a leg. Thank you so much Vanessa!!!
Hi, That's great to hear, we really appreciate your kind feedback! Are there any other how-to videos you'd like to see from us? Kind regards, Just Fabrics
Since you ask... I am making curtains with eyelet tape and fleece lining. Not quite sure how to finish with the thick lining, so that would be really helpful. Thanks @@just_fabrics
I purchased 8mts of lovely dusky rose Satin almost 2years ago, I have been wondering what to make with it, watching this has helped me to decide. I need some new curtains for my bedroom and so I will be following your tutorial. Thank you.
This is so easy to follow and well detailed. Perfect for a beginner such as I. Thank you. You've saved me a fortune. I also bought the fabric from you which is good value and lovely
Hi Gemma, Thank you for your kind words, we really appreciate it and we're happy our guide could help you. We'd love to see what you've made, if you want to submit it on our website (www.justfabrics.co.uk/inspiration/creations/) that would be great. Kind regards, Just Fabrics
Thank you for this excellent demonstration and tutorial for hand sewn curtains. I have followed this and made some curtains (double width) that I am really pleased with. The explanations were clear, the steps easy to follow and it was easy to dip in out of the video when I got a bit stuck. Many thanks.
Hi Elise, Thank you for your suggestion! We have lots of curtain making videos planned so will try and get this filmed for you. Kind regards, Just Fabrics
Hi, Thank you so much for your feedback! We have lots more like this on our channel so please head that way for more if you're interested. Kind regards, Just Fabrics
This was extremely helpful, made my first pair of curtains and they're perfect! The only things I would add are a) how to measure the correct amount of fabric at the beginning and b) to be careful not to put your herringbone stitch within the 1.5inch hem area or it'll show once you attach the lining. Thank you so much.
Hi, Thank you for your kind words and feedback! We'll take your points onboard and will see if there's anyway to integrate them. Are there any other video guides you'd like to see us produce? Kind regards, Just Fabrics
Thank you, this was incredibly useful. Hoping you can advise how much material to start with initially? As in, if my desired finished curtain width is X, I'll need to make the curtains to YZ width before pulling the heading tape? Thanks!
Hi David, Thank you for your kind words! Please see the answer to your question below. If you're making 3” heading tape curtains as in the video, you will need to times the size of the pole or track by 2. Then dive it by the width of the fabric, normally 1.35. Here's an example: Track width 180cm x 2 = 360, divide by 1.35 = 272. Round this up to 300 = 3 widths of fabric. Hopefully this helps. If you have anymore questions then please don't hesitate to ask. Kind regards, Just Fabrics

Hello, There is nothing different with blackout lining, so follow along as usual. It won’t hold a crease so well because of the coating. Hope this helps! Kind regards, Just Fabrics
@@just_fabrics Thank you for the reply, the blackout has sewn in fine :) I've just finished the first panel of two and I can't believe how good it looks! Thanks for such a detailed tutorial.

Is there anything you’d need to do differently if you were using blackout lining? It doesn’t hold a crease as well as cotton I’m finding.
