DIY Curtains & save money

How to make Cafe Curtains for under $15?

When I first lay my eyes on this beautiful fabrics at Spotlight 2 weeks ago, I just fall in love with it.  It is just so simple but artistic at the same time.


I wanted to update the curtains in one of the rooms and this fabric just suit it so well.  My sewing skills are not that fantastic so I decided to make

Cafe Curtains 


Now the problem is that the vertical length of the fabric is too short for the window so I decided to choose another fabric to contrast it on the top while making the casing for the rod.


So now my easy step-to-step guide:
1. Measure the length and width of your window.  And cut the fabric as required.  I cut the total width of the whole window and pin it in half width wise before cutting it making 2 panels.




2. Hem the fabric.

3. Pin the top fabric to the main fabric.

4. Sew the top fabric to the main fabric.

5. Hem the top fabric.

6. Fold the top fabric into half to make the casting for the rod and pin.


7. Sew the top fabric to the main fabric with a straight stitch.

Viola! Finished curtains.


Happy Sunday!
