Question by Kristie: Making window treatments for the first time. Need help, guidance, ideas, tips or useful links please!?
Hi we just got a new house and I’d like to make my own window treatments. I would be sewing by hand but also have a hot glue gun :). I’ve never made window treatments and could use some simple suggestions, or useful links.

It would depend on what type of window treatments you are making–valances, curtains, shades. If you go to a fabric store for fabric then you may be able to get either a pamphlet or a book with instructions for whatever you want to make.

My partner and I had a custom drapery workroom in Louisiana and we paid our installers well. Anyone can hang a rod, but only professionals do the job right. You should be looking at the $20-40 an hour range.
