How to make professional lined curtain panels I’ve got loads of photos (too many probably!) so hopefully you’ll see just how easy it really is to sew your own curtains. To start, spread your fabric out on a large flat surface (the {clean} floor works great), measure it, and cut each panel about 10″ longer than you’d like your curtains. Once your fabric is cut, it’s time to iron! I ironed the reverse of the fabric just to be safe. I didn’t want my iron freaking out on me or anything and ruining my fabric. If you don’t like to iron, you might as well give up now. I ironed the entire curtain panel first, then I ironed both of the length-wise edges (sides). To iron the edge, fold the raw edge over about 1/2″ and press. Once your edge is ironed, fold it over again and iron a 2nd time. Once your edge is ironed, you’ll need to iron the opposite edge as well. Both edges should now be ironed about 1/2″, then folded over and ironed about a 1/2″ again to create a finished edge. Now iron the TOP of the curtain fabric about 1/2″ over. Pretty, hua?!
