true, that way you can match your decor.

yes thank you for those links. I have to do some measuring now, I want to throw away those ugly cellular shades i bought 3 years ago!! lol soo dusty.

Your welcome. I made my own curtains a while back for our old house, thank goodness I was able to use them here in the new one.
I spent days on them.

I can never find ready made curtains to hang like I want them to, so I buy them and alter. I usually leave the rod pocket and shorten them, I don't like long ones except in the living room. For our room I do the opposite.
