FABRIC CUPBOARD CURTAIN

1 A curtain is a pretty and affordable alternative to a cupboard door and works for kitchens and other rooms in the home. Start by measuring the width of the cupboard and then get either a copper pipe or netting wire cut down to size. 2 Next, select your fabric. You may decide on something simple like a neutral linen or perhaps a pattern, such as gingham. Measure the width and height of the area, allowing a 5cm seam allowance at the bottom and sides, and a 10cm seam allowance at the top for your pole or wire. Remember that some fabrics can shrink when washed, so make sure you wash and fully dry your fabric before you cut it to size. If you’d like more gather in your curtain, add another half a width to the measurement. 3 Cut the fabric, then stitch up the seams, gather the fabric onto your pole or wire and fit it for a stylish alternative to a cupboard door.
