Easy Tie Up Curtains for to Make In An Afternoon!

Welcome, hope you are enjoying the season. A recent trip to walmart where I purchased a whole bolt of small black and white checkedcheckered fabric at a mere 1.50 per yard so the bolt was 15$.

The first step is to measure your window, you should allow at least double the amount of the window allowing 6  inches on all sides for seems.

 I was going for a very casual farmhouse vibe this material is semi sheer but just enough to block out the sun.

So once the material is measured out you can sew a closing seem on 3 sides and the top seem will be where you will measure and sew so that your curtain rod will fit through.

Now you need to create the ties, now i wanted the raw edges so I merely ripped the ties they should be double the size of the curtain plus 6 inches. You will need 2 ties per curtain. They should be the same size front and back .The ties can be sewn on  so just cut the ties in halfthey should be about 4 inch. Wide.

Just under where the curtain rod will go sew the ties on about a ft. Down front and back.

Trim up your threads, insert your curtan rods a presto some pretty tie up curtains.

 I really love the idea  that they are easy to tie up, and you can easily controll the amount of privacy so easily.

If you like this style but are not down for the sewing I recenly have seen this style but a more sheer solid light color on Decor Steals, a Miss Mustard Seed item for 15$ each. They are very nice .

Thanks so much for joining me today and I hope you will consider sewing up these easy tie up curtains.
