Amount of Fabric Needed for Curtains Panels; Explained...

Measuring for Fabric Width:

Measure the width of the mounted rod from bracket to bracket in inches and divide that amount by 2.

Then multiply that answer by 2.5 and that equals how much fabric in inches you will need per panel to account for side hems, fullness and gather or extra for pleats.

If you prefer less fullness you can multiply by 2 instead.

Measuring for Fabric Length:

The length from top of rod to the wanted hanging length of the curtain in inches plus 22 more inches equals how much fabric you will need to account for top hem, bottom hem, header (if needed) and length of your curtains.

For tab top add another additional 18 inches to length to account for making the tabs.

Some things to consider...

If you have a patterned fabric you will need to take into consideration which way the pattern runs. Is it horizontal or vertical? and that you may need extra fabric to match the pattern.

Is the fabric width you're purchasing 54", 58", 60"?

Do you want the curtains lined? if so, you will need the same amount of lining as fabric amount.

Would you like blackout lining or do you want some light to come through?

If the sun is shining directly on the window... it will fade your fabric fast without any kind of lining.
