Making Lined / Interlined Curtains Part 2

above left: on the right side of the curtain, measure down 3.5″ across the top of the curtain using a ruler and fabric marker (you already pressed over 1/2″ along the top; you are measuring from that fold, not the raw edge). you can just make little dots every so many inches. lay your lining piece right side down on the curtain. the top, raw edge of the lining should rest along the markings you just made so that the top of the lining is 3.5″ below the top of the curtain. above right: along the bottom of the curtain, your lining should sit about 1.5″ above the bottom of the curtain so that it does not show.

How do I clean vintage curtain panels without dry-cleaning?

Here is my experience. I bought a house with all kinds of musty curtains. I gave some of them to Goodwill. One room with three windows had one pair that someone obviously tried to wash. The fabric shrunk, but the lining did not . So I washed the others in warm water by machine. Hung them to dry. Ironed them. Now they all match. I made some pretty tiebacks. Very happy with the result. Maybe you should just form a “What is the worst that could happen?“ mindset. Throw them in the washer. Musty curtains are a drag and drycleaning is a costly.

make simple curtain 64 in long 28 in wide, have rod, need alternative ideas to hang, hoops gromets tabs????

good answers-- a idea-- get some twill tape (comes in packages of I think 3 yards) in multiple colors-- cut pieces and sew to curtain in middle of the piece of twill tape-- then tie over the rod-- Gromets take special tools or actions and you need them to be the size of the rod. Tabs work but you will need fastners-- button and buttonhole... or snap front and back for each tab fancier-- there is drapery tape that you sew on flat then use metal finger things to make the curtain have .....pleats! 64 by 28 is an un usual measurement-- long skinney top of wall window? den type place? -- twill tape will do good. 28 inches wide-- plus another piece the same-- two sides of the window? good luck

what does a curtain wall mean in building construction?

Curtain wall is a term used to describe a building façade which does not carry any dead load from the building other than its own dead load. These loads are transferred to the main building structure through connections at floors or columns of the building. A curtain wall is designed to resist air and water infiltration, wind forces acting on the building, seismic forces, and its own dead load forces. Curtain walls are typically designed with extruded aluminum members, although the first curtain walls were made of steel. The aluminum frame is typically infilled with glass, which provides an architecturally pleasing building, as well as benefits such as daylighting and environmental control. Other common infills include: stone veneer, metal panels, louvers, and operable windows or vents. Curtain walls differ from storefront systems in that they are designed to span multiple floors, and take into consideration design requirements such as: thermal expansion and contraction; building sway and movement; water diversion; and thermal efficiency for cost-effective heating, cooling, and lighting in the building.

How can I prevent curtain rings from catching on the joint between rod sections?

If it is a white pole, a bit of white electrical insulating tape wrapped around to smooth out the transition can help, but may not be durable. It is however a cheap option to try out.I have used a thick plastic adhesive tape ("Ezyglide Tape", I guess other makes may be available) on my extending metal shower curtain pole and it works well enough. It goes on the top along the length of the pole and, as well as stopping the metal curtain loops scratching, smooths out the transition:.

Canon native flash off-camera second-curtain-sync: any news?

No, there's no news. And the -RT system can not do 2nd-curtain any more than the Canon "smart" optical system was ever able to do it for, what was it, 14 years (the 550EX was introduced in 1998) before the RT system was introduced in 2012? Not sure why you would think this picture would change. If you want a built-in radio triggering system that does 2nd curtain, get a Yongnuo flash with a built-in transceiver, or a Godox TT685C/V860IIC and XproC, or Phottix Mitros and Odin II or whatever. If you do not like your Yongnuo gear, dump it and move on. And while you would prefer an OEM system, if the OEM system does not do what you want, then you have to settle for 3rd party. Frankly, this just sounds like complaining that Canon wo not do what you want. While it's understandable, it does not actually do much good. Canon still has not made an EF-S 35mm f/1.8, either, despite all of us crop shooters pointing out how it would be nice if they did, like Nikon has. :)

What color window curtains should I do for my dinning room and family room?

I would try a beige color that matches your couch.

My thinking behind this:

You have dark floors, therefore you want something light above that isn't going to compete with the flooring.

You can add art work and throw pillows to bring color into the room.

Style of curtains change often. Therefore, if you buy a universal curtain that goes with anything you won't have to change it over time. You can just change the pillows when you want to.

What colour decor would go best with silver/grey curtains?

It also depends on how light/dark you want the curtains, or if windows need to be insulated, etc. We have a bedroom that has antique mahogany furniture. Because the furniture is dark and is very large, I used taupe draperies over mini-blinds. The drapes help to make the room appear larger and the mini-blinds help with sun issues, such as heat, cold and rotting of the curtain material. Have fun with your project!
