make simple curtain 64 in long 28 in wide, have rod, need alternative ideas to hang, hoops gromets tabs????

Answer 1

There are a couple of ideas depending on your skill level. If your window is 28X64 you would want fabric to measure between 42 and 56 inches wide by at least 68 inches long.

Easiest is to take the fabric you select (a twin sheet works well) and fold over the ends to make a hem. You can then use iron on seam tape to secure it in place. You can then attach hoops with clips to the fabric and slide it on the rod.

Otherwise, add on a couple more inches and fold over about a 4 inch seam on the top and sew across to make a pocket. Then you can slide it directly on the pole.

Either way is fairly simple, it just depends on if you need to open and close the curtain very often.

Good luck!

Answer 2

good answers--
a idea-- get some twill tape (comes in packages of I think 3 yards) in multiple colors-- cut pieces and sew to curtain in middle of the piece of twill tape-- then tie over the rod--
Gromets take special tools or actions and you need them to be the size of the rod.
Tabs work but you'll need fastners-- button and buttonhole... or snap front and back for each tab
fancier-- there is drapery tape that you sew on flat then use metal finger things to make the curtain have .....pleats!
64 by 28 is an un usual measurement-- long skinney top of wall window? den type place? -- twill tape will do good.
28 inches wide-- plus another piece the same-- two sides of the window? []~~[]
good luck
