How to Make and Install a Window Curtain
If you have basic sewing knowledge and access to a sewing machine, you can make a simple curtain in a short
amount of time. Curtains make a big difference in the "look" of a room, adding color and style to your decor.
Once the curtain is made, it's easy to hang it just where you want it. With these simple step-by-step
instructions, you can: (1) measure your window and purchase the appropriate type and amount of fabric; (2)
sew a simple curtain; and (3) install the curtain on your window.
Equipment and Supplies
As in any project, it helps to know what equipment and supplies you are going to need before you get started.
To make the curtain, you will need the following some equipment and supplies.
First, you'll need the following tools:
tape measure
paper and pencil
calculator
work table
iron and ironing board
Also, you'll need these sewing items:
sewing machine in good working order
scissors
pins
material
thread
fabric marker
To install a curtain inside the window frame, all you will need is a spring-tension curtain rod. To hang the
curtain on the wall outside of the window frame, you will need these items:
tape measure
pencil
cafe-style curtain rod and its brackets
screw driver
screws or molly bolts
drill
level
Preparing to Sew the Curtain
You're probably ready to start sewing right away, but there are some preliminary things you need to do first.
Note: Since the size of the window determines the amount of material you will need, measure the window
before you buy the material.
Before you can sit down at your sewing machine and begin to sew, you must:
1. Decide what type of curtain rod you want to use.
2. Measure the window.
3. Purchase the curtain fabric and rod.
4. Cut the curtain piece out of the fabric.
Deciding what type of curtain rod to use. A simple curtain can be hung with a cafe-style curtain rod or a spring-
tension rod. Mounting a spring-tension rod does not require any hardware and installs the curtain inside the
window frame. A cafe-style curtain rod must be hung with brackets that are affixed to the wall-side of the
window frame and hangs the curtain outside of the window frame, against the wall. So, before you go any
further, decide where on the window you want the curtain to hang and what kind of curtain rod you'll need to
do that.
Measuring the window. The measurements you take here will determine the success or failure of your curtain
making project. Remember the old saying: measure twice, cut once! Refer to the diagram below as you
measure your window in the following manner:
1. Get your pencil, paper, and measuring tape.
2. Decide how long or short you want the curtain to be.
3. Measure the width of the window. For a curtain that will fit inside the window frame, measure from
the inside of one corner to the inside of the other corner. F ...

Find out what sort of patch you've got. Some patches accompany glue on the rear, et al. simply have a
cloth backing. Take an in depth check out your patch and choose whether you'll need additional
materials.
• Decorative embroidered fabric patches are usually thick, stiff, and have what seems like plastic
glue on one side. These are often wont to cover ripped or discolored fabric.
• Transfer paper patches are prints on one side of special paper, with a non-glossy paper side.
These can't hold ripped fabric together and typically the material underneath will show through
if it isn't applied to something white.
• Patches that have a simple cloth backing can be attached using.
• Patches that are meant to hide up holes or stains and are designed to blend in with fabric often
accompany a paper backing that's achieved before the patch is applied.
• Consider custom designing your own patch if you can't find one you like.
Examine the material of your clothing or accessory. Fabrics like denim and cotton provide the simplest
base for iron-on patches. As a general rule the material you select should be a minimum of as heavy
because the patch.
• Look at the material care label to ascertain whether it are often ironed (if not, there'll be a
crossed-out icon of an iron). If there is no label, attempt to find out what material it's made
from.
• Be very careful with polyester fabrics, since applying the high heat necessary for ironing on
patches can burn the fabric or cause it to get discolored.
• Silk and other delicate fabrics are not good candidates for patches.
Think about design and placement. Before your warmth up the iron, lay out your jacket, sash or
backpack and choose where exactly you would like the patch to be placed.
• If this is often the sole patch you plan to iron on this piece, put it during a tastefully prominent
position. Make the location look intentional.
• If you're planning on ironing on more patches, such as you would for a woman scout's sash or
the other sort of collection, plan ahead to form sure there'll be room for extra patches.
2. • If you're employing a printable paper patch, remember that letters and other asymmetrical
items will appear reversed.
Ironing on the Patch
Lay the bottom item on a flat, heat-resistant surface. A board is beneficial, but if you do not have one,
you'll also lay your item across a doubled-up towel on a sturdy table.
• To ensure the item will provide an honest surface for the patch, iron it first. If it is a backpack or
another item that's difficult to iron, do your best to rearrange it in order that a part of the
material which will be receiving the patch is flat against a tough surface.
Place the patch within the position you chose. The adhesive side should be flat against the bottom
fabric. confirm that the patch isn't crooked.
• On embroidered patches, the adhesive side is the underside.
• On paper patches, the adhesive side is that the side where the image is printed. Place the image
face down on the material. The paper backing are going to be peeled once the patch is ironed
on.
• If you're employing a fusible webbing, the fusible web backing should be against the material.
• If you're employing a patch meant to blend in with fabric, you'll got to apply it to the reverse
side of the article of clothing. Follow the instructions that came with the packaging.
Heat up an iron. Turn it to the most well liked setting your fabric can tolerate. confirm the "steam"
option is turned off, which your iron isn't filled with water.
Place a skinny towel over the patch. lookout to not disturb the position of the patch. The towel will
protect the patch itself and therefore the surrounding fabric.
Position the heated iron over the patch and depress. Hold the iron there for about 15 seconds. Apply
the maximum amount pressure as you'll by pressing down firmly.
Remove the iron and permit the patch to to chill. Lift the towel and check to ascertain whether the
patch is fixed on securely by gently rubbing at the sting with a finger, trying to lift it. If it lifts up a touch,
replace the towel and press it with the iron again for 10 seconds.
• If you're working with a paper transfer patch, wait until it's fully cool (leave it for 10 minutes),
then carefully peel off the paper.
Caring for Your Patch
Consider sewing round the edges. For a totally secure patch, use a stitching machine or a needle and
thread to secure the patch to the material. This greatly reduces the probabilities that the patch will fall
off.
• Choose a thread that matches the patch.

Don't wash the quite necessary. Iron-on patches are meant to be permanent, but they are doing
become loosened over time. lookout to not let the article get too dirty, since washing it's going to cause
the patch to start out coming off.
• If you are doing got to wash the item, hand wash it using cold water. Allow it to air dry.
