I have very little experience with the sewing machine. I once took a class where I learned how to make a standard pillowcase. I enjoyed the pleasure of creating something, but never thought I would go any further. Until I started looking for curtains for my living room. There was nothing that appealed to my taste as I searched the stores. So I opted for Jo-Ann's and was pleasantly surprised to find some fabric that caught my eye.
I knew I wanted my panels to be about 84 inches long, so I bought three yards for each panel. I hemmed the sides of the curtain by folding ever each raw edge a 1/4 of an inch, then about a half inch. Then I folded the top edge with enough fabric to put the curtain rod through, ironed it flat and sewed it in place. The bottom I folded leaving a little extra fabric to create some weight, ironed and sewed in place.
Very simple and perfect for a beginner. We'll see how ambitious I will get in the future.
