1
Measure the width of your window and multiply by 2.5. This is measurement "A."

2
Measure from the curtain rod to where you want the curtain to fall. This is measurement "B."

Cut a rectangle of chiffon that has measurement "A" as the width and measurement "B" as the height.

4
Fold the edge where the top of the curtain will be, making a fold that is 3 inches deep, and iron it flat. If the chiffon is made of synthetic fiber, protect it from the iron by laying a towel on top of the chiffon before ironing under the lowest heat.

5
Slide a strip of iron-on fusible interfacing into the fold.

6
Iron the fusible interfacing into the fold, creating a firm, finished edge.

Thread the curtain clip rings on to the curtain rod.
