This video shows you how to hem the sides and bottom of the fabric of your choice (cotton works great!). You'll also see how two straight seams form a pocket at the top of the curtain for the rod to be inserted. Alternatively, you can hem all four sides of each cafe curtain panel and hang the panels from curtain rings instead of with a rod. Don't sew? Use fusible hem tape for a similar result! Now that you know how easy it is to make cafe curtains, you may just want to make window treatments in rooms other than the kitchen.
