Making Curtains from a Duvet Cover?

Hi there,
1. Give it a good wash before you start doing anything else.
** If the duvet is the same on both sides, then take it apart for sure. Should there be one side that is a lighter fabric, or a fabric that is acceptable to be seen from the street....than perhaps you can use this as is.

2. do your measuring- as the rules say.."measure twice & cut once"
3. an easy way to create curtains without a lot of sewing is to use Curtain clips with rings on the top that feed onto a curtain rod.
OR~
4. buy curtain tape: sew it along the top of your curtain
PULL the strings to whichever thickness you want the drapes to be.
-use drapery hooks in the created pleats, to hang from an appropriate [to match the hooks] curtain rod
OR~
5. sew a pocket along the top, that will encompass the width of the curtain rod IE: 2" etc. and slide the curtain along
* use any pieces of fabric to create curtain tie-backs so you can draw the curtains to the side of the window.
** use other pieces to create pillow covers etc.
Have fun. Great idea to repurpose your duvet cover.
