I saw these on sensible chic (they made them to replicate some designer ones)

I'm not sure that it would be too hard...

I just made some for my kitchen about a week or two ago. It was very easy even though I had no idea how to do it. It was my very first time using a sewing machiene! I'll try to post pics- I'm very bad at it!

I am not a sewer (if that is a word!! ) but to me those curtains look pretty simple to make. They are just panels that are hemed.

Good Luck!

I have. You can use the no-sew tape to make the hem and rod pockets. all you need is your iron.

They are easy, especially the simple ones. My mother makes gorgeous curtains!

All the time. I very rarely buy window treatments. Let me know if you have any questions.

I was thinking of doing this for one of my rooms, I bought curtains but am not that happy w. them. Where do you buy the fabric?
