Materials you will need:

Step 1: Measure and cut the fabric
Start by measuring the height and width of your window, making sure to add a few extra inches for seam allowances. Use a measuring tape to ensure accurate measurements. Once you have determined the dimensions, cut the fabric accordingly, ensuring that you have two equal-sized pieces for each curtain panel.

Step 2: Hem the sides
Fold each side of the fabric about half an inch towards the wrong side and press it with an iron. This will create a clean edge. Once pressed, fold the edge over one more time, about one inch, and press again. Use pins to secure the hem in place. Repeat this process for both sides of each curtain panel.

Step 3: Create a rod pocket
On the top edge of each curtain panel, fold the fabric towards the wrong side, about three to four inches, and press it with an iron. This will create a rod pocket for the curtain rod to pass through. Secure the fold with pins and sew along the bottom edge of the pocket, leaving the sides open. Make sure to stitch over the folded edge to reinforce it.

Step 4: Attach the rings
Distribute the curtain rings evenly along the top edge of each panel, leaving a few inches of space between them. Mark the spots where you want to attach the rings. Using a sewing machine or a needle and thread, sew the rings onto the top edge of the curtain panels. Ensure that the rings are securely attached by sewing several stitches over each ring.

Step 5: Hem the bottom edge
Similar to the sides, hem the bottom edge of each curtain panel. Fold the fabric half an inch towards the wrong side, press it with an iron, and fold it over again by about one inch. Pin the hem in place and sew along the fold.

Step 6: Finish the curtains
After completing all the sewing steps, remove any visible pins, and give the curtains a final press with an iron to ensure a neat and professional finish. Hang the curtains on the curtain rod by inserting the rod through the rod pocket. Adjust the rings along the rod so that the curtains are evenly distributed.
