How to make HIGH END curtains! Budget friendly DIY
Today I am taking you along as I complete one of my favorite DIY projects yet - dropcloth curtains! These are the such a good dupe for the high-end custom curtains that I loved on Pottery Barn and other stores that were expensive. And they were honestly such a beginner-friendly, easy sewing project. I saved a lot of $$$!

I love doing it!! Thank you Megan 💕
It's so nice to see a young woman making her own curtains. I'm a great grandma that has made many curtains myself. I was wondering if they still sell that pleat tape. And I'm soo pleased to hear they do...😊

Aw yes!! This was a very satisfying project 🥰
This turned out so pretty and high end looking. I have seen tons of drop cloth curtains that i dont really like. They look too casual for me. This is the first dropcloth curtain that i love and may make as well. Good job!

Thank you Julie!!! I definitely know what you mean. The pleat tape makes such a difference I think. You will have to let me know how it goes!
Everything looks amazing! ❤

I love them. Thinking maybe I could make some for our master bedroom. The custom ones I chose are WAY expensive so I keep putting off this project. Yours look soo good!

It makes a big difference
I made curtains from flat sheets. No sewing at all. I used clip rings and just snapped them onto the curtains

That’s a great idea! Could even find sheets for them at the thrift store!
Great job.

You did a great job. I love it. My gibbest prob is i couldnt get my husband to go with white walls so everything in my house is blue. And I try and stay away from biege otherwise I would try this in at least one room.

Oh yeah the beige would probably look a bit yellow against blue!

I’ve found some recently on Amazon that I out in my guest bedroom that achieved a similar look with lots of different colors
Great video, thank you! How did you calculate the width for the fabric since it’s pleaded? Width of window times 1.5-2?
@EmilyGarbe

Yes, exactly! I think mine worked out to be 1.5, but 2 would give you lots of nice volume

Thanks so much!
How much time would it take someone reasonably skilled with scissors and a sewing machine to assemble all of the curtains you produced for this project, provided one already had all required materials? Good idea and demonstration. Thank you.

If you don’t have kiddos constantly interrupting like I do 🙃 I would say 4 hours. Definitely not a quick project, but very satisfying and simple 👍🏻❤️ glad you enjoyed!
Amazon has pretty good curtain prices for similar look. You can DIY if you have the time and a sewing machine

I’ve totally realized this since making these 😂 most of them don’t have the pinch pleat tap and pins but even just adding that to the Amazon ones would create a really lovely look for a good price
One comment on the sewing machine. It's an inexpensive heavy duty mechanical machine. This is a great choice for home projects.
