You will need:

Laura Ashley Fabric  – we used Living Wall Hedgerow

Curtain rings with clips

Curtain pole

Fusible bonding web

Scissors

Tape measure

Steam iron

Water erasable marker pen

Ruler

Steps:

1. Put the curtain hooks onto the pole and then measure from the jaws of the clips down to the floor. Add 10 cm to the length and cut the fabric. Cut the selvedge off the side of the fabric.

2. Use the water erasable pen and ruler, to mark the fabric with a 5 cm turn in on all sides.

3. Measure the fusible bonding web into 5 cm strips.

4. Cut the fusible bonding web into strips.

5. Iron fusible bonding web strips along the outside edges of the curtain fabric.

6. Remove the paper-backing strip from the fusible bonding web.

7. Fold all the curtain edges in by 5 cm, crease the folds at the corners.

8. To mitre the corners for a neat finish unfold the fabric at the corners. Fold in the point of the corner, crease 0.5 cm above where the finished corner will be.

9. Cut the spare triangle of fabric along the fold line.

10. Fold the sides in and press with the iron so the fabric adheres. At the corners fold in one corner then fold the other on top for a neat finish.

11. To hang the curtain, clamp the top finished edge of the curtain fabric between the jaws of the clips.
