Or anyone else with some creative do it yourself know-how, I've decided to try to make my own curtains however I got no idea how to do so. matter-of-fact the only thing I think I know how to do is buy fabric. So once I've done that how can I get busy on covering my sun holes? Is there a book you can recommend or a method?My windows have been uncovered since I moved into my place nearly 4 months ago, morning sun sucks horribly and cool cloth drapes are my only hope

Hey A**m
What's up?
You'll find some tips here:
Making curtains
Peep the bottom of the page for more info.
Peace
this is a rod pocket curtain:
if you don't know how to sew you can use safety pins to pin the top but it will look a little janky
word thanks for that advice (You too Moogman)
I got no ewing machines, but I got safetypins a plenty, photos of the finished project will be posted on SS as well as all whiny complainy racist hip-hoppy issues that came during the process
I think the technical term is seam tape.
On that page I posted there are tips for no-sew curtains:
"Traditionally to make curtains one had to sew them with a thread and a needle.
Today you can make curtains without having to use a thread and needle.
All it takes is bonding web, a hot iron and a damp cloth or curtain clips to create these no sew curtains.
Apply the bonding web on the fabric with a hot iron and a damp cloth.
This method can be used for curtains that are unlined and made from lightweight fabric.
Use curtains clips to hang curtains.
Make a double hem at the top of the curtains, attach the clips to the hem and hang them from a thin curtain pole or curtain wire.
Curtain clips are available in a wide variety of designs and finishes;
choose one that matches the d??cor of the room."
Peace
