Please see our other videos on how to make lined curtains with standard soft furnishing fabrics. • Alternatively we have a stunning selection of blinds on our site http://www.polesandblinds.com/blinds/... • that will offer a selection of features that cannot be found with light weight sheer and voile curtains. • Voile fabric can be quite tricky to work with so you will need to use lots of pins to help to keep the curtains where you want them for ironing and machining. • MAKING VOILE CURTAINS. • 1. Voile curtains are very fine and very see-through so consequently all your seams and hems will have to be very neatly finished as they will be clearly visible from both sides of the curtains. • 2. You will need to make French seams to join the widths of curtains together. To make a French seam put the wrong sides of the fabric together, pin very well and then machine together. • 3. Press with a very cool iron all the way down the seam and then turn the fabric over and fold and press all the way along the machine line, now with the wrong sides of the fabric facing outwards. • 4. Pin as you go to stop the material sliding. This will be the actual seam with the raw edges neatly concealed inside the fold. • 5. These particular voile curtains are going to have a panel fitted at the top and bottom of the curtains as I want them to match the bedspread and to also have a substantial heading and hem line. • 6. Cut the panel for the bottom, normally I make this panel about 12” deep, so it will need to be cut at 24” plus turnings. • 7. I normally make the top panel slightly larger than the heading tape plus the turnings, so that is about 10” cut width. • 8. Fold the bottom panel in half with the pattern repeat running along at the same point. • 9. Now fold the top and bottom of the panel along the width so they sit perfectly on top of each other. • 10. Machine down the sides of the panel on the wrong side of the fabric checking the width of the panel is the same as the width of the voile. • 11. Now put the bottom of the voile curtain into the panel, pinning as you go. • 12. Machine across carefully making sure the top and bottom of the panel match exactly. • 13. Now fold the top panel in half and repeat the steps above. • 14. These particular curtains are finished with a wave heading tape. This is a tape that does not have any strings to pull which will gather the heading tape. You can also use a basic pencil pleat heading, but not pull the gathering strings. • 15. Pin the heading tape top and bottom slightly down from the top of the curtains and machine along. • 16. Count the number of curtain rings on your curtain pole and then evenly space the curtain hooks along the heading tape according to the number of rings supplied with your curtain pole.
