D.I.Y Curtain

Its time to change the curtains. Got my curtains from Ikea for rm99 perset. Well considering its ready made... save lotsa time cutting, sewing.. not to mentions buying the fabric.. which will cost around the same price.

But ofcourse thing is just not that simple, buy and hang... well here you can see its kinda too long... so some altering is needed.

Firstly, hang it up.. measure the curtain and mark where to cut and fold it

Then iron the fold so that it is folded properly

Next use the hemming strip (some kind of plastic that melt and stick on the fabric when you iron it) inside the fold.


Re iron the fold with the hemming strip inside on high heat.. and you will notice the fold will stick together.
Then cut the away the extra fabric and re-iron just to make sure it stick properly

And the final thing to do is.. hang it back up...

Now as i got 4 pieces of fabric to cut.. there seems to be alot of left-over... and the pieces is not small too... if throw it away its kinda waste of money.... then i saw my wife pass by so i grab her and....
