DIY Curtains -

This DIY Curtains video series will help you sew your own curtains! A very detailed, 9 part, sewing tutorial that will walk you through each step.

When my husband and I were first married, money was tight. It certainly wasn’t in our budget to have someone else make home decor items for our home. So, I sewed all of the valances, bedding and pillows that finished off our rooms.

But, the one sewing project I never had the nerve to tackle was sewing drapery panels or curtains for our windows, and like I said, we couldn’t afford to hire someone to make them. I would’ve loved to have been able to watch a video course about how to make draperies!

That’s why I’ve created this DIY Curtains video tutorial series!

Making your own draperies is a great way to save money! You can choose the fabrics that you love, and because you sew the draperies yourself they will fit your windows exactly.

That’s two of the most frustrating things about trying to buy pre-made draperies in a store or on-line. You will have a very limited choice of fabrics, and chances are the draperies or curtains won’t fit your windows correctly. They’re usually too short or too long, and may not be wide enough if you want them to open and close.

Over the past 17 years of having my home decor business, I’ve sewn many drapery panels for my clients’ windows. Along the way, I learned lots of tips and tricks for how to make drapery panels easier and faster, and I want to share them with you!
