Finding a set of draperies to match your décor can be difficult. You may find the right pattern, but the style isn't exactly what you had in mind or the material is too thin or too thick.
Why don't you create your own lined window drapes? This is how we do that
1. Measure your windows to determine the length and width of the drapes.
2. Hang your rings from the rod, and then measure from the base of the rings to the floor for the length. The width should match the width of the window.
3. Purchase the fabric for the drapes and your lining. Add 10 inches of fabric to the length measurement and double the width.
4. Prepare to sew the hems of your drape. Fold up the bottom of the drapery fabric 4 inches and iron. Then fold up another 4 inches and iron again.
5. Pin and sew the hem in place with a straight stitch. The hem should be at the top of the fold, approximately 4 inches from the bottom of the drape.
6. Cut the length and width of your lining. The width is the same width of the drape minus 6 inches. The length is the same length of the finished drape.
7. Fold up the bottom of the lining 2 inches and iron. Then fold up another 2 inches and iron again.Pin and sew the hem of the lining with a straight stitch.
8. The hem should be at the top of the fold, approximately 2 inches from the bottom of the lining.
