Sewing Curtains

[Note 9-10-2008: I moved the file to another location because the previous one seemed to just be horrible. Hopefully you can download it from Box.net without issue. The link is:

Please let me know what you think of this if you use it! Happy Sewing!]

In the weeks since I posted about making hidden tab-top curtains, I’ve noticed a lot of people finding my site because they’re searching for how to make said hidden tab-top curtains.

SO, since I know how to make them, I thought I’d make my Very First Tutorial about them. It turns out tutorials are not easy things, but I persisted, and thus have the following link to present. It’s a PDF file you can print out: How to Make Tab-Top Curtains.

Very impressive. I might be able to figure out how to sew the curtains — but not make the tutorial as well!

First, there’s a little mistake on pg. 5, the calculations, which may confuse someone.

You say “72″ wide - 2” either side = 70″

It really should be minus 1″ on either side (2″ total) = 70″

Now, I have heavy fabric to use. I’m afraid it will be too heavy and thick at the top. Do I need to fold over the fabric two times? I don’t need the extra pocket.

I had the same problem as one of your previous readers. I could not open the link. Would you also e-mail it to me? Thank you
