Kitchen curtains

Some re-sale/thrift shops have patterns .... McCall, Butterick, Simplicity, etc.
or if you are fairly good at math, just measure window you want to cover,
buy needed fabric, hem at top and bottom, and you have curtains. Very
easy.

I thought about just measureing and cutting what I need with hem and whatever but afraid to start...I dont need anything fancy just something different....I am not all that good at sewing stuff like that but am willing to try though. thanks for the replies.

You need 1 1/2 times the width of the window total. Measurement X 1.5 divided by 2 and add an inch for side hems. For the length measurement plus 4 inches for bottom hem and 4 inches for top hem and header. The header is the little bit that sticks above the curtain rod.

I get patterns when they are on sale at Joann's for either .99 cents or $1.99. Simplicity Patterns are on sale today through the 13th, 5 for $5.00. The curtian patterns are in the back of the catalog.
