    Want to let you know that you helped a 45+ year old male, just make curtains, so he can surprise his wife when she returns home from her overseas trip. The tips you showed are great. Never thought about ironing to hold the crease and the double fold. So simple and yet it's not common sense for the uneducated beginner. ^_^ So glad I watch this. Thanks!

    Note to self: Don't forget to prewash! I totally spaced it this time. I also looked up different videos on how to cut a really really big piece of fabric straight because I think when I cut, it's straight, but it might not be (probably isn't!). BUT I DID invest in a rotary cutter and mat and clear plastic ruler and they are sososososo helpful!!!!!!!!!

    • @chanellee9762

    Hello thank you for your video it’s very helpful. I just have a question. Are your measurements for right at the top of the widow or are they for a few inches above it? So say I want my curtain to be 27 1/2 wide and 26 1/2 high that’s giving me 2 inches above the window and 2 inches below as well as 2 inches on each side. So would I still do the added 4 wide and 12 high? Sorry if this is a stupid question I just stated to sew on Saturday!!!! Please and thank you for the help!!
