How Do You Make Red Curtains & Pillows?
In several cultures the color red is considered lucky. You won’t need luck to make this simple set of curtains and matching throw pillows. Bring out the sewing machine and by evening your project can be completed. You are even going to save a ton of cash by using a red double bed sheet for fabric because sheets are inexpensive, their thread count makes the material sturdy, the yardage is ample, and they are easily washable.

In this case, your panel is already bottom hemmed because you use the stitched top fold for that purpose. Iron in the raw side and top edges of the pan
