I just love watching you work you explain things and demonstrate things so clearly,I have been sewing for over 50 years and make anything and everything,to de stress I watch your videos on my days off from working in a curtain shop where we sell fabric and make up,thank you.
Oh that's so nice to hear Janet and I know exactly what you mean. I absolutely love watching videos of other poeple doing what they do best. I watch alsorts of things from digger drivers to cake makers. My current obsession is watching old paintings being restored.... fascinating! 😁👍
Love your videos they are extremely professional, I am returning to curtain sewing after 10years and a lot of your techniques are what I have done so great to watch your videos for inspiration thank you
Not sure I quite understand the drops you have Sandra but assuming the curtains are already made (or made but for the heading) you'll need to lay them flat and measure from the bottom up every quarter width across to your desired length then pin or mark and make your heading at that point.
Hi Sharon, as the example shows in the video, to calculate the measurement needed to make a mark from each corner, double the amount of your hem allowance. So for example: if you want your hem to finish 2cm your hem allowance would be 4cm. Double that to get the measurement required from each corner.

If the side hem is not equal to the bottom hem as can be the case in a curtain, do I still follow this same steps?
Yes absolutely, just do the mitre off centre
Hi how do you measure an even curtain drop
Hi I have 1 pair of 3.5w curtain with uneven drops
The left is 212.5cm.stacked...then....216cm.
The right is 218.5cm........222cm...stacked... drop

What’s the math?
