Tutorial: Tie Up Curtain

So It's Tutorial/Etsy Find Thursday....

Today I'll be sharing a tutorial for curtains I made for my kitchen. 

I'm in love with damask print & picked it to decorate my kitchen in after we painted it a "misty surf" color :).

So I made tie up curtains for my kitchen. It's super easy so on with the tutorial...lol...

Tie up Curtain Tutorial

Supplies

{This is what I used. Adjust your supplies for window size)

* 1 Yard of main fabric

*1 yard of back fabric 

* One roll of Ribbon

*Iron

* Sewing supplies

First Measure your window width. 

The width I needed was 39"I just made my curtain one yard long.

Then cut your fabric accordingly, both front & back pieces.

 Next place your front piece and back piece RIGHT sides together, 

Line edges & pin down.

Sew 1/2" seam around whole outer edge leaving a 5" opening at the top of your curtain{make sure you do this so you can turn it right side out}.

After you flip your curtain right side out take the opening 

that you left & tuck in the edges.

Next Iron your curtain, make sure to iron the edges along 

with the opening you just tucked in.

Top stitch 1/4" around the whole outside edge of curtain starting with your opening to sew it closed.

Almost done...

Turn over the top of your curtain enough for your curtain rod 

& then some. Then pin. 

(I added my label to mine :))

Next sew it so you have a curtain rod pocket. 

(you'll need to measure your curtain rode to make sure there is enough room for it to go though)

Now cut two pieces of ribbon that measures the length of your curtain x2. 

This way it reaches down both sides.  

(I didn't attach the ribbon in case I would want to change out the color sometime)

Now hang your curtain up & tie the ties :)

Tada you have a pretty tie up curtain....

 If you have any questions email me :).

Also if you make one using my tutorial I would love to see it!

Happy Sewing ladies!
