What are you making?

Interiors connects the fabric and pattern to the practical supplies that help a sewing project come together.

01

Look, weight, pattern and room

When choosing curtain fabric, consider the colour, pattern and texture you want, then look at the fabric’s weight and drape. Think about the existing room, the scale of the pattern and how the finished curtains will sit with the rest of the space. The construction also matters: check what lining, heading and other supplies your project requires, and always read the chosen fabric’s information.

  • Weight and drape
  • Pattern scale
  • The room
  • Construction

02

Start with what you are making

Furnishing fabric covers a broad range. Consider what the fabric is being used for, how much wear it will receive, the weight and handle you need, the pattern and colour, and whether its construction suits the intended application. Not every furnishing fabric is suitable for every soft furnishing or upholstery project, so check the individual product details.
  • Intended use
  • Expected wear
  • Weight and handle
  • Pattern and colour
  • Construction

What might you need?

Exact requirements vary by curtain style and construction, but a project may involve fabric, appropriate lining or interlining, heading tape or another heading method, hooks or other hardware, curtain-making thread, weights where required and suitable sewing equipment. Use the specific project and product information as your guide.

  • Lining or interlining
  • Heading tape

There is no single calculation

Fabric requirements depend on the finished curtain width and drop, pattern repeat, fullness, fabric width, number of widths, pattern matching, heading style and hem allowances. Calculate from the specific window, finished dimensions and chosen fabric rather than relying on a universal quantity.
  • Finished width
  • Finished drop
  • Pattern repeat
  • Fullness
  • Fabric width
  • Number of widths
  • Heading style
  • Hem allowances
05

Start small or start with the room

Soft furnishing projects range from cushion covers to lampshades and larger curtains. You can begin with the project that suits your time and confidence, then explore the fabric and supplies it requires. There is no single correct progression: the useful starting point is the make you want to complete.
