Curtain Length

• Puddling the curtain on the floor is a great look, and very trendy. It also allows you to cheat a little bit if you’re not great on a sewing machine.
  
• Save the extra fabric for use later in the room. You could make a decorative accent, like a pillow, out of it.
  
• The little straight pins work like an extra pair of hands to hold your fabric while your sewing machine is running.

Steps:

1. A standard curtain panel is 84 inches. Measure your window from top to bottom. During the measurement, figure out how long you would like the panel to be.

2. If your window is 96 inches you’ll want to add about 16 inches of fabric for the panel to just touch the floor. If you’d like the panel to puddle, add about 22 inches of fabric.

3. Measure and mark the panel with a pencil where you should make your cut.

4. Cut your fabric at the line.

5. Measure your adhesive tape along the bottom of the cut panel.

6. Press the tape on the fabric to activate the adhesion.

7. Fold over the fabric, press to adhere and then smooth it out.

8. Grab your straight pins and begin pinning along the edge of the fabrics.

9. Straight line stitch a seam in the fabric.

10. Attach your top panel to your bottom panel.

11. Pin the two together.

12. Sew the panels together using the same straight stitch that you used before.

13. Snip your threads, remove your pins and you’re ready to hang.
