Thank you, this video was so helpful. I'm just a very casual sewer so I needed every bit of your hand holding through the process. Me and my fiancee reused 4 '63 in panels to make 2 104" in curtains for our bedroom. It worked out great.

@tawn3399 4 года назад

This was the first result that popped up in my search. We own an old home with beautiful, but LONG windows. I sewed the drapes we have now over 15 years ago and just don't have the time now or the money for custom made. I'm so excited to try this. Your directions are clear (and your voice is quite soothing)! Thank you!

Hey Tawn...I feel you on having to start completely over but this hack can bring some new life into what you already have....I know you will do great...Virtual 🤗 &😘 TFW!

This is the best no sew curtain tutorial I have ever seen. Great job!

@kenyajones1833 7 лет назад

I've always wondered how to lengthen drapes and thought sewing was the only way. Thank you so much for the easy to understand step-by-step!

@jazzyj6095 3 года назад

Here it is September 2020. This was the best video I found to help me with this issue. You give clear, concise, complete and, easy to follow instructions. The visuals are great too. Thank you so much. Now I feel confident I can do this.

So glad you are back! Great job on the curtain...adding the piece at the bottom turned ho-hum into lovely. You are a good teacher too, I might even give this a try. Thanks so much!

@SouthernGirlInteriors 8 лет назад

Hey Cheryl Ann it's hard to really get the feel but by taking the panels up to ceiling...it has more drama......TFW & Smooches:)

@meganthwaites 3 года назад

Aaaah thanks for this video!! I’m going to lengthen my curtains! Super helpful! Yay!!!

@tinak3685 3 года назад

Just an FYI, you’re using the seam ripper upside down. The ball part goes in between the fabrics you’d like to take the seam out of, the sharp point goes outside, above the seam you want to rip out. I know it seems counterintuitive, but that’s how it goes to rip out a seam. 😊

@goddessenergy7238 6 лет назад

@SouthernGirlInteriors 7 лет назад

Hey Madam thank you for hanging in there with me. I have done this many times with clients drapes....especially when fabric runs short adding a color block of fabric can make drapes look custom. TFW Sweetie:)

@macawlovers1964 4 года назад

Wow thank you so much! I bought a house with transom windows. The drapes I currently have hanging look awkward between the two windows, so I would like to place curtains above the transoms. I feel this would help to create the appearance of a much larger room. Since curtains come in one standard size, I wasn’t sure how to extend them without a sewing machine but your tutorial has helped me tremendously. Not only does it seem relatively easy to do, but it looks professional. Thank you so much for this how to video!! 😁

@Annabee399 2 года назад

Genius! I just purchased the same living/ dining room curtains in a different length, but the same color as the existing ones. Thank you, Sis!🙏👍😊

@FlamingoFieldsFarm 7 лет назад

I need to do this with three master bedroom curtains. Made the mistake of buying by size of windows. I want to give an appearance of larger windows to give more impact. I feel like I can do this now. Thanks for sharing!!! Now to figure out a fabric to go with solid back and my antique castle feel theme. oh boy!

@SouthernGirlInteriors 7 лет назад

Hey Janet you can do it...Measure out what you want your completed length to be.....and add in extra inches for hems & the spot where you will join the two fabrics & if you make them to long you can always puddle them on the floor which will work perfectly for a castle feel theme...I hope this helps....TFW & Smooches:)))

@honeylyons5155 Год назад

What would be a good fabric to lengthen printed grommet topped sheers? Lyons

@SouthernGirlInteriors Год назад

Hey Honey Sheer fabric is a different animal because of the type of fabric the heat could burn a hole in the sheer material. Options ...you can sew additional light weight fabric to the bottom or you could use fabric glue...it takes longer because it has to dry & you will need to place weights or heavy books along the glued seam so that is will dry & bind together. I KNOW I 've said alot but I hope this helps🤗

@ashleyg651 7 лет назад

Hi! I was wanting to extend a shear curtain that I have and was wondering if the tape would show through if I were to add on to it?

@SouthernGirlInteriors 7 лет назад

Ashley Burke Hey Ashley sheers are a little hard to work with..... yes the tape will show through...it comes in white & semi clear. They do make fabric glues as well which may be a better option but I would do a test piece first to make sure it's to your liking....I hope this helps ....Hugs & Love to you😙

@donaunsworth5620 Год назад

Hi I’m doing a bedroom makeover. Had found perfect colour match Curtains but to short also they are plain and lined. I do have a similar Duvet cover but it’s patterned. The curtains don’t even go to the length of the window and I’d like them floor length. Would you suggest doing what you’ve done on your Video or trying something else? Thank you from the UK 😊

@TherapeuticDesignByDebra 5 лет назад

Wow this was an amazing video. I am in the process of redoing my sons bathroom and like you I like to use curtains instead of shower curtains. My son and I love going to the thrift store and he found these amazing curtains that he said he wanted in his bathroom but they were 84 inches. They were 2.99 apiece so I bought three of them and I am definitely going to try this process tonight. Thank you so much for all of the details. I am going to post the video On Sunday I would love you to take a look at it and let me know what you think. If you like what you see please consider subscribing. And have an amazing evening.

@SellYourHomeEZ 4 года назад

not sure if you are still answering anything, but here's the question, bought some super cheap blackout curtains so we can use the projector on the white side, but i want to turn it around when not in use (the projector) so it blends in with the walls (dark grey), they are 15" too short and i bought one more curtain to extend, but the seam has to be reversable so it's all white on the 'reflector' side, all dark on the 'deco' side... this video was a good idea, never knew this stuff existed as i am not a seamstress - have a sewing machine but don't really do anything lol...

@SouthernGirlInteriors 4 года назад

Hey Eva...good thing you bought an extra curtain but you can do this...on the décor side where you see the seam you can add some decorative flat trim to hide the seam & it can be applied with the seam bond tape. As far as the back side you can do the same thing but you will see the seam but hopefully it will not be noticeable when using your projector. I hope this helps....Hugs & Love:)

@camillocci 8 лет назад

can't wait to try this! i been wondering how they do this!

@lyniseconnor6891 4 года назад

Can you lengthen a curtain made from a faux velvet with the same material? My curtain is 108" but I need 136" I thought I might just purchase an extra curtain and cut it in half and add it to the bottom. Do you think that would work? Or do you have any ideas for maybe adding the extra fabric to the top half of the drapes? Thanks so much!!

@barretthageman3350 5 лет назад

Question, I have been tasked by my wife to lengthen curtains we had made, and the person completely botched them up (all too short and not all the same length.) Would the technique work using the same fabric and not look too terrible. This is my first time sewing. Thanks for your Son's service, my son is on year 6.

@tjdiva24 8 лет назад

Thank you so much for showing me how to do this. I am dying to try this with some curtains that I am in love with, but only come in 84 inch length. I need them to be 96 inches. I’m so scared!

@juanitagibbs2100 5 лет назад

@ericapeek4907 3 года назад

So I got my self in a Mess trying to get out. I put Curtains or trying to Make Curtains for a ball room Look not going to good so problem here is we have silk ish fabric I am a drywall finisher and a Out of practice sewer we Ran short on Fabric Trying to put two pieces together Without showing their Pieced in my Length is 18’ I only have 8’ and 10’ to put together How do I hide the connection or Can I .i know I can with thick fabric but it shows on this what do I do

@SouthernGirlInteriors 3 года назад

Hey Erica sorry for the late response...when joining fabrics You want to have similar weights but if You don't You will have to get some flat braid or flat trim....& where the two pieces of fabric meet press the seam out as flat as You can on the back side...then glue Your flat trim piece over the area where two fabrics meet on the front side...this is an opportunity to get creative...trims can be flat, fringed or beaded...Let Me know how everything turns out....TFW Hus & Love to You
