A few months back, I was scouting for nice curtains for my apartment. Well, tailored made curtains are very expensive. If I had the time, I could sew it myself but I just didn’t have spare time.
I know Kamdar, the local fabric store offered curtain making. The labor is pretty cheap about RM7 per piece. For standard size curtains, it is very much worth it. The tip is to purchase a wide enough cloth to minimize joining pieces together. The less join, the cheaper the curtain is. There are fabrics with wider with like 60cm, 90cm or 120cm.
Anyway, I saw a design that I like but it was a two piece curtain sewn together. To add to it, the windows in my apartment are not standard. All of it needs to be of the size of sliding door curtains tall and the width is also non standard too. Therefore, I need to tailor make all the curtains.
I am pretty pleased with the finished product with the price I am paying. It is really beautiful.
