i made some curtains for my bedroom.
i used an old sheet that was a dark blue color, that kinda matches my room colors.
first i measured the window , go the dimensions.
cut the fabric, i left the little satin embroidery that lines the , would be top, of the sheet.
i decided that would be the decorative bottom of the curtain.
i cut strips of fabric of the remainging sheet to make the fabric strips to hang the curtain on the rod with
