doesn anyone know where I can get a pattern for kitchen curtains pretty reasonable. any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you sandy |
what style do u want? I have never made curtains with a pattern.... I just start in....
|
Some re-sale/thrift shops have patterns .... McCall, Butterick, Simplicity, etc.
or if you are fairly good at math, just measure window you want to cover, buy needed fabric, hem at top and bottom, and you have curtains. Very easy. |
McCalls patterns can be bought online and they are cheaper than getting them in the store.
|
I thought about just measureing and cutting what I need with hem and whatever but afraid to start...I dont need anything fancy just something different....I am not all that good at sewing stuff like that but am willing to try though. thanks for the replies.

You need 1 1/2 times the width of the window total. Measurement X 1.5 divided by 2 and add an inch for side hems. For the length measurement plus 4 inches for bottom hem and 4 inches for top hem and header. The header is the little bit that sticks above the curtain rod.

suggestion, I just took my old ones down and used them for my pattern and made new ones! I will look for a pic. sorry about the bad pic I just took it, sun shining in!

i think fullness depends on what you like...I like full curtains and generally go at least 2 - 2 1/2 times the width of the window depending on the heaviness of the fabric.

I get patterns when they are on sale at Joann's for either .99 cents or $1.99. Simplicity Patterns are on sale today through the 13th, 5 for $5.00. The curtian patterns are in the back of the catalog.
