How To Sew A Curtain With Lining

Curtains are a great way to add privacy, style, and warmth to your home. They can be made from a variety of fabrics, and can be lined to add extra insulation or to block out light. Lining a curtain is a relatively simple process that can be done by hand or by machine.

To sew a curtain with lining, you will need the following materials:

Thread
A sewing machine or needle and thread
A measuring tape
A pair of scissors

Once you have gathered your materials, follow these steps to sew a curtain with lining:

Measure the window that you want to cover and add 6 inches to the width and length. This will give you the size of the fabric you need for the curtain.
Cut the fabric for the curtain and lining to the desired size.
Fold the top and bottom edges of the curtain fabric over by 1 inch and press with an iron. This will create a hem.

Place the lining fabric on top of the curtain fabric, right sides together. Pin the two pieces of fabric together around the edges.
Sew the two pieces of fabric together around the edges, using a 1/2-inch seam allowance. Leave a 6-inch opening in one side seam for turning.
