The choice of fabric is crucial. Consider the thickness, transparency and pattern of the fabric. Don't forget to choose matching haberdashery such as rings or hooks that match your fabric and your interior.

Step 3: Cutting and preparing the fabric Panels.

Once you've chosen the fabric, cut the panels to the correct dimensions. Make sure you cut accurately and prepare the panels by applying seams and hem strips where necessary.

Step 4: Assembling the panels into complete curtains.
