They look great!!! I just started looking for ways to embellish and upgrade some panels for Christmas...so I really enjoyed watching your process!

@designedtothenines 5 лет назад

I am so glad!! Wishing you the best of luck! I hope they turn out how you want. =)

Oh No! Where were you two weeks ago!? That is the problem with decluttering. I sent some very nice drapes to Goodwill because I had made them for my previous house. That is why I depend on clever people like you. Beautifully done.

Oh darn it! Thank you so much for watching Judy!💕

NataLee, the curtains came out sensational. I love the fabric choice that was added to the panels. You have excellent taste.

@terryhuber1623 5 лет назад

Love your channel and ideas. But I find the background music sooooo annoying that I have to turn the volume all the way down and use closed captioning. I know a majority of you tubers use background music but it is soooooo distracting and irritating. Thanks for listening.

This is one of my older videos... While my videos still have music, the volume is way lower. ☺️

Although this video is over 2 years old now and a LOT in décor has changed, I just love the coordinated look! Was looking to extend some store bought curtains without ripping so much hemming and this is ideal! Thank you so much!

Love this placement of the panel, rather than standard at the bottom of the curtains. I have an ongoing project, our 100 year old house and it's a lot of work, but I gain a lot of wonderful ideas from your channel. So many projects to choose from but I think I will tackle the fireplace surround, feature wall and these curtains next. Thank you so much.

@Pinktoolgirl 4 года назад

Awesome Idea! I've never thought of adding fabric to the middle!! Perfect solution and matching them to the pillow is perfect.

I love how you've customized the curtains with fabric. I thought of doing this too as I was having difficulty finding long curtains. I finally found 95 inch long ones that I like and am now trying to install hardware. I've hit something hard before drilling the holes long enough (not sure if it's metal or concrete/cinder block). I need to figure out how to fully install curtain hardware before I can steam and hanging the curtains. Any suggestions?

Great idea! This would be 100X easier with a cutting mat and rotary blade with ruler. I'm going to do the same thing, with a tassel trim added down the inside edge of the curtains.

@zaneblane8160 11 месяцев назад

Really wanted to learn this but you left out some important steps..or I couldn't hear you.. how wide is your original drapes? How much did you add to the each side/why? When you were sewing, (mike died) it looked like you did not have the two fabrics together on one side (the blue was not directly aligned with the print)..why? I hope you answer. THX.

@lynnettelg 3 года назад

Thanks for detailing this project you created. You said you determined how far down on the curtain to start the insert. It looks great! I’m curious to how you made the determined for why at that height? What were your other considerations (if any)? Is there a reason to do it alternatively top, middle, bottom design-wise?

@designedtothenines 3 года назад

I chose to line the top of the fabric insert up with the top of the slider door… And I didn’t want to add it to the bottom because I didn’t want it to look like my curtains were too short and I just added fabric but it was more intentional. I hope that makes sense. So you want to hang your curtains about 3 inches below the ceiling height so you have room for your finials from your curtain rod. And then I would line the top of your fabric insert with the top of your window or wherever you’re placing it. I hope that helps!

@lynnettelg 3 года назад

Designed to the Nines Thank you for the thoughtful reply! I’m especially impressed you responded so promptly to an older video. I have my rods hung near the top and my drapes that are currently too short hanging as a placeholder so I can measure (with seam allowances calculated!! 😀) for my additional fabric. You helped me confirm I was taking the right path!!! 🙌

@car4775 3 года назад

@@designedtothenines Very useful explanation! Am considering doing the insert. My drapes have a light blocking panel lining, so would you cut the entire drape and lining or just the drapery fabric?

NataLee - now that you lived with the curtains for a while and have since updated them to the IKEA curtains you customized, do you have any additional insights or updates on this older project? (I do have pleats on my curtains - so love your new video and curtains too!)

Love your tutorials... but why the music in the background!! It’s so distracting and annoying ... I really want to continue watching but the music just spoils everything... can’t hear what your saying .... please just insert music when your not talking or leave it out altogether it’s totally unnecessary.... forgive me, I’m a musician and I love music but it should be enjoyable not distracting.... but love your diy’s

@designedtothenines 4 года назад

I agree with you... My older videos my editing software at the time wasn’t very good so the music was louder than it should have been. I think you will find my newer videos much improved in this area.

@Barb6106 4 года назад
