So how do you like these curtains? I was on the look out for a light curtain so that my indoor plants could get some sunlight, but could not find anything good that was not very expensive. The prices of curtains are really high, I mean the good ones atleast. That was when I thought of checking out some curtain fabric in my favorite fabric shop - Fabric R Us, San jose, CA. It is a shop with so many many fabrics and the prices are really low. The shop is a bit stuffy, but I really don't mind that.

If you live in bay area, CA and is in the look out for variety fabric which are low priced, do check this place out.

I was lucky and found just the kind of fabric I had in mind and love them on my windows.





The instructions to sew them are quite easy, but anyways I will just put some photos with details.





Depending on the width and length of your windows, buy the required amount of fabric, keep extra for ruffles and sewing the holder and also seam allowance.





My window's l x h was 78" x 74" and so I bought 5 yards (8$/yard) of the fabric which was 60" wide, enough for 2 curtains.





Once you have the fabric and matching thread, you are all set to start sewing.



1. Cut the fabric with enough length for hemming the bottom and creating the holder area for top. Even if you have some extra length, you can keep it instead of cutting it off, for future extension of length if needed. 1.

2. Hem the fabric on both sides, very small length, approx 1cm.

3. In the bottom part of your fabric, fold approx 4" and sew it.

3. Creating the holder for the curtain rod - I had some extra fabric and since the fabric I used was a delicate one, I thought of giving 2 layers on the top part where the curtain rod would come.

So first I folded 8" and sewed 3 sides, width and both sides.









After that, fold it again once and sewed lengthwise.

That is it, you are all done :) Yes, I know,really simple.









Have a wonderful week ahead,
