Curtain Size Curtain Measurement Guide

Do you want to add a touch of elegance and style to your home? Curtains are a great way to do just that. But before you can hang curtains, you need to know how to measure for them. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get the perfect fit.

1. Determine the type of curtains you want.

There are two main types of curtains: rod-pocket curtains and grommet-top curtains. Rod-pocket curtains have a pocket at the top that slides onto a curtain rod. Grommet-top curtains have metal grommets along the top that slide onto a curtain rod.

Once you know what type of curtains you want, you can start measuring.

2. Measure the width of your window.

To measure the width of your window, use a measuring tape to measure from the left edge of the window frame to the right edge of the window frame.

Add 6 inches to the width of your window to get the width of your curtains. This will give you enough fabric to gather the curtains at the sides.

3. Measure the length of your curtains.

To measure the length of your curtains, use a measuring tape to measure from the top of the curtain rod to the bottom of where you want the curtains to hang.

Add 6 inches to the length of your curtains to get the length of your fabric. This will give you enough fabric to hem the curtains at the top and bottom.

4. Purchase your fabric.

Once you know the width and length of your curtains, you can purchase your fabric. Be sure to purchase enough fabric to accommodate the width and length of your curtains, plus the 6 inches you added for gathering and hemming.

If you are unsure how much fabric to purchase, you can always ask a sales associate at the fabric store for help.

5. Sew your curtains.

Once you have your fabric, you can sew your curtains. There are many different ways to sew curtains, so you can choose the method that is best for you.

If you are a beginner, you may want to start with a simple curtain pattern. Once you have mastered the basics, you can move on to more complex curtain designs.

6. Hang your curtains.

Once you have sewn your curtains, you can hang them. If you are hanging rod-pocket curtains, simply slide the curtain rod through the pocket at the top of the curtains. If you are hanging grommet-top curtains, simply slide the curtain rod through the grommets at the top of the curtains.

And there you have it! You have now successfully measured, sewn, and hung your curtains. Enjoy your new window treatments!
