Fabric requirements for your window size
1. A Measure the width and drop of your window for
recess fixed headrail or if you have mounted your
blind headrail outside the recess, measure the width
of the blind headrail by the drop required.
1. B Add to the finished blind the measurements shown
in diagram B.
On wider blinds more than a fabric width wide, join
the fabric so the blind will have seams an equal
distance from the centre. Mark the blind size plus
seams with tailors chalk. Trim out the size.
2. Sewing the side seams
Working on the back of the fabric, fold the side fabric
under 0.5cm (3/16”) and then over 1cm (3/8”) to
form a seam and sew down the inner edge.
Repeat for the opposite side.
3. Stitching the loop tape to the top of the blind
Remove loop tape from headrail.
3.
A
Fold over the top of the fabric 1cm (3/8”).
3.
B Place the loop tape over the fold leaving a
0.5cm
(3/16”) gap between the tape and the
top of the fold. Sew the tape into place with
two rows of stiches - a row on top and a
row on the bottom of the tape.
4. Sewing the bottom bar pocket
Fold over and create a 4cm (15/8”) pocket with a
turn over of 1cm (3/8”) as shown in the diagram.
Stitch along the top edge hem/pocket.
