Frequently Asked Questions

How do you alter curtains?

To alter curtains, measure the desired length, mark the new hemline, and cut the excess fabric. Fold and pin the fabric for a simple hem, then sew along the marked line. For more complex alterations, such as adjusting the width or adding lining, consider seeking professional help or using a sewing machine for precision.

Can a tailor alter curtains?

Yes, a tailor can alter curtains. Tailors are skilled in working with fabric and can handle various curtain alterations, including hemming, adjusting width, or adding linings. Professional tailoring ensures a precise and polished finish, especially for more intricate curtain modifications.

Can ready made curtains be altered?

Indeed, you can alter ready-made curtains to fit your specific window dimensions. Common alterations include hemming to adjust length or adjusting the width. While you can make some basic alterations at home, achieving a seamless and professional result for more complex changes may necessitate professional assistance.

What can I do with curtains that are too long?

If your curtains are too long, you can hem them to the desired length. Measure the appropriate height, mark the new hemline, and either hand-sew or use a sewing machine to secure the new hem. Alternatively, you can use hemming tape for a no-sew solution. Another creative option is to tie the excess fabric in a decorative knot or fold it for a unique and stylish look.
