What drapery clips do you have in this video? They are thick and exactly what I’m looking for. Your amazon link directed me to some thinner ones. Thanks
The clips in this video are Allen and Roth brand. I couldn’t find them in the dark bronze color for sale anywhere so I linked to a similar style on Amazon. We found the Allen and Roth clips at Home Dept. If you keep checking their store, it might become available again.
A good draper will allow costly fabric to hang awhile prior to hemming to avoid the length from altering over time. For a speedier method that will also help to to remove wrinkles....Pin up a temporary hem that clears the floor by several inches. Close one panel so the fabric is extended to it entire width. Insert a rod into that bottom hem. Gravity is evenly distributed across the rod and will gently pull out the wrinkles and slightly stretch the fabric on the vertical. You could use a 2x2 or 2x4 instead of the rod if your curtain rod and hardware are sturdy. The wood will increase the weight and therefore the pull on the wrinkles. If the cloth is slightly damp or you can steam it as it hangs, so much the better. The moisture will help relax the fabric into shape. Make certain whatever you use for a rod cannot not discolor the fabric. To finish up, leave the curtains hanging and remove the temporary hem. Drag your ironing board to the window and steam press just the bottom section of the curtain panels. If you have a portable sewing machine, consider stitching the permanent hem with the curtains hanging in place. You could hang the curtains backwards temporarily so it is easier fold the hem. It can be less work to move your tools about than to wrestle with yards and yards of clean white cloth.
Cookbooks on Repeat Thank you! They really have been a game changer and saved us some serious money in our house! I love the way they turned out. Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks I'm going to do this, alot cheaper for me. Love the whiter better then the color it comes in. Can't wait to get mine up. Thank you again. Take care and God bless.
I really love this idea! Is there anyway I can buy the bleached drop cloths from you ? I don’t have the equipments to bleach and also I suffer from Multiple chemical sensitivity and bleach causes me to have asthma attack/faint. I would love to buy them from you!!
send me an email at thebluebonnethomestead@gmail.com let me know what size you need and how many panels. I may already have some bleached drop cloth on hand I could send to you.
Barbara Hogan I used bleach to lighten the color of the drop cloth. This also softens them a little bit. This is completely optional. If you like the original color of the dropcloth there’s no need to bleach it at all. All you have to do is launder them like you normally would. Hope this helps! 💃🏻
The bleach is totally optional. If you want to lighten the color of your fabric use bleach. But if you like the natural linen color of the drop cloth, you can just skip the bleach altogether. ;)
Unfortunately my voice over recording for this video was terrible. Lesson learned :/ Let me know if you have any questions about the instructions in the video;)

Valkyrie Sardo this is great!!! Thank you so much! So much easier than maneuvering all of that heavy fabric around.
The professional way to measure drapes is to PRE HANG ! Good job
Wow, those are really huge windows! What a great way to save money making curtains for them.

What oz drop cloth did u use? I love tuffboy drop cloths and always have a hard time finding the 8oz ones due to them selling out sooo fast
I definitely used the 8 oz drop cloth for all of my curtains.

As another alternative you could research muslin. I always bleach my dropcloths in a laundromat, they usually have larger machines.
You can use a wheelie bin as a container, you just need to clean it.
Please tell me why you bleach? Thanks.

Why bleach
