Time to mark fabric and cut! Your material is now laid out (not many wrinkles). You’ll want to get an even line across top using your yardstick. Mark a straight line with a pencil along top (if darker material a pen will work or even chalk if you have it). Eyeball it to make sure it looks even, sometimes fabric store will not cut it even so it’s up to you. This will be your starting reference point (this will be a cutting line for you). Get your calculations for length for each: valance and curtain. Now measure from that straight line down for valance length needed, do this twice because it needs to be doubled for fullness (unless 60” width fabric). Make a mark. Do same halfway across and on folded edge. Now put your yardstick across from mark to mark and draw a line (this will also be a cutting line). Do same for curtains. Each curtain side gets its own length (unless 60” width fabric). Grab a couple of pins and pin just inside edges and lines of each section you marked. Cut along lines. You should now have 4 pieces cut, 2 for valance and 2 for each curtain side. Once again were going to mark, this time on right side of fabric. Open up your pieces, right side of fabric up, lay them out straight, using a pencil, lightly mark 3” down from straight top on each piece, make several marks across. Use yardstick to connect marks to make a straight line. Do same on bottom, 4” up from straight edge. Mark 1” in on both side edges of each piece. Mark all pieces. Make sure all marks are lightly placed on outside of fabric, but dark enough so you can see them. Sew two valance pieces together. Press seam flat. Sew outside edges of all pieces turning under ½” twice (will be 1” all together, pencil line should be on outside edges), press & stitch along inside folded under edge. Press up hems to inside of material along all marked lines. Fold them under ½ of width and press again. Stitch along that folded edge on inside. Holding fabric as you stitch to make sure fabric doesn’t bunch up. You should have a 2” bottom hem for each piece and a 1½” hem for top hem to slide curtain rods through. Make sure to backstitch when you begin sewing and at end to reinforce stitching from coming out. Voila’, there you have it! This process should only take about 1½ hours. Put your rods through top hems of curtains. Put up valance and curtains.
