How Do You Make Rod Pocket Curtains?
Rod-pocket curtains can be used to casually decorate windows with colorful fabric. They consist of two single lengths of fabric with a sleeve of fabric sewn into the top edge. You hang the curtain by slipping a curtain rod into the sleeve and setting the rod on brackets attached to the wall. The simple curtains can be hung straight, pulled back with ties or pushed back by hand. Rod-pocket curtains are among the easiest type of curtains to create. Measure the length of your window opening and add 6 inches. Measure the width of your window opening. Cut two pieces of fabric to those dimensions. Fold over the lengthwise edges on both pieces of fabric one-fourth inch and sew. Fold over one-fourth inch again to sew down along the edge of the fold. Fold down the bottom edge of each piece of fabric one-fourth inch and sew down, then fold one-fourth inch again and sew along the edge. Fold down the top edge of each piece one-fourth inch and sew down. Measure from the top folded edge to 3 inches
