Sew quick and easy curtains: puffball header
An eye-catching finish which takes no time at all
A very effective curtain finish which is surpisingly easy to achieve. This finish works best on lined curtains - blackout lining is good as it not only keeps out the light for bedrooms but is also substantial enough to hold the puffball shape well. Cut the lining 12cm narrower than the curtains overall. With right sides together, stitch sides of lining to curtain fabric. Turn right side out and press. Fold an 18cm turning of fabric and lining together onto wrong side across top of curtain. Do not press. Pin curtain tape 16cm from fold, turning under both ends.
Stitch tape in place, stitching across both ends of tape several times to secure the drawcords. Pull up and secure the drawcords as for bay window curtains. Simply pull out and arrange the fabric by hand to create the puffball effect.
