My mum told me to do it this way, but I couldn't remember the detail of what she had said. As I can't ask her any more this was invaluable! Thank you!

Wow thanks so much for this . I’ve always taken them up from the bottom but a someone who makes curtains told me to try this method. Was a bit nervous but your video really helped and was so much quicker and easier to do this way . Liked the extra info about corners too explained very well

Hi. How lovely that you are still responding to posts after all this time! My friend told me years ago that it was easier to shorten curtains from the top but I never dared try it. After getting a silly quote recently though for shortening I took the plunge and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. So thank you for your comprehensive instructions. First time in 68 years I've attempted it!

Excellent! I have also used this method on eyelet curtains. I did find that the eyelets I replaced the originals with did not stay together as well as the original ones though. Trial and error I guess!

Never ever thought of altering curtains that way. Great stuff. Got 2 pairs of lined curtains to alter and I'm dreading it so was about to take them to get them altered at a local shop for £100. Might just do them myself now and save myself some money. Thank you x

Thank you for this excellent video. I just bought some eyelet curtains for a bargain price, but still expensive for me in the hope of shorting the curtain at top and adding a pleat tape. This is by far my go to video for doing the job, so thank you very much.

I bought a pair of curtains but got the length and width the wrong way around. Is it possible to change the tape without a sewing machine?

Hi there, I would say not unless your hand stitching is really fine and sturdy. It would need to be secure enough to carry the weight of the curtains. It's not impossible but not something I would fancy doing. Good luck

Hello I know this is an old video but I wanted to ask how easy is it to cut an eyelet curtain half the size without ruining them please as they are 228 by 228.

Hello, thanks for doing this. At 1 minute in, when you said you were pinning, "a bit further out" from the 17" you originally measured - can you clarify by how much? It looked like half an inch but I might be wrong. I want to adapt your method for my curtains, but my header tape is only about 3" wide and yours looks wider.
@OhMaaaaaan

Hi 👋 it doesn’t matter how far out you place these pins. The intention is to stop the lining fabric from moving at all when you cut. If you don’t pin and the lining fabric moves, you risk the curtain not falling flat as the lining would be either too short or too long. I hope this makes sense.
