Place lining on top right side facing up. Then add 4 in 10 cm to the width and 12 in 30 cm to the height. Stack it all up together and pin it all the way around then start on a corner of a long end and stitch all the way around three sides long side short side long side.

Lay your sheet over the top of the reverse side of your curtain fabric making sure the top and left edge are lined up perfectly with the edge of the curtain fabric.

This will allow for the extra that will be eaten up as you create a hem and attach it to the lining. Start with your fabric along with a piece of lining cut the same exact size. Cut the curtain fabric. Making your own professional looking lined drapes is easier than you might think.

Be sure to leave an 8 inch opening on one side so you can pull the draperies right side out later. Iron the entire top sheet once the top edge is un stitched and the other 3 edges are cut off. Use a tape measure starting at or just above the top of the window and measure the length and width. Make sure you measure the length down to the area on your window or wall where you d like the curtains to lie.
