DIY Step 9: Install the Curtain
Insert the curtain rod through the top pocket or attach curtain rings if preferred. Mount the rod securely above the window and adjust the curtain so it hangs evenly.
DIY Tips
- Wash and dry natural fabrics before sewing to prevent later shrinkage.
- Use blackout lining if you want to block sunlight and improve insulation.
- Match the thread color closely to the fabric for a professional finish.
- Double-stitch the top pocket for added strength.
- Measure twice before cutting to avoid mistakes.
- Test the curtain on the rod before making final adjustments.
- Consider adding curtain weights at the bottom corners for a smoother drape.
