I started this today - determined that they would be really good!
I read a few tips and I have to say the extra effort and time is well worth it.
They are unlined as the room needs plenty of light, they have tab tops.
Actually they were really easy to make - first I folded and pressed both long sides, 1cm over and then again 1cm over. Stitched that.
Then I did the top and bottom hems the same way, making the top one wider as I had to attach the tabs to that.
I made the tabs in a similar way, as in pressing and stitching - makes everything so much easier and neater
The thing I still can't find a good way to finish is the bottom of the tabs - I tried to do a zigzag , but with the 4 x thickness of the tab plus the 3 x thickness from the hem it was quite thick and needle kept getting stuck - so maybe I need a bigger one or something? I am not overly worried as its is something that isn't visible unless you take the curtain down, and I can rectify it when I find out how!
