How to attach the drapery and the lining

After you have made the drapery, now we will attach the draperu into the lining.

1. Lay the drapes right side up on a table. 

2. Lay the lining right-side down on top of the drape so that it is about 1 1/2 inch above the bottom of the drape fabric.

3. Attach the raw sides of fabric together with pins and then stitch down along the sides 1 1/2 inches from the raw edge. Since the lining is not as wide as the drape, you will have extra drape material. This is correct.

4. Turn the drape inside out so that the right side of the drape is visible. 

5. Iron the drape, with the lining side up. You need to iron so that even amounts of drape are visible on each side of the lining. 

6. Tuck the extra drape material under itself at the bottom corners of the drape. This means that you will be mitering the corners. 

7. Sew a blind stitch to hold this in place.

8. Lay the lining side up, and then fold over the entire top edge in a 1-inch double fold. Pin the edge. Stitch in place, using a straight stitch.

9. Complete the drapes by attaching ring clips at the top. 

You are now ready to hang your curtains
