999

Finding the perfect curtains only to discover they’re too short is a common decorating dilemma. Whether your curtains shrank in the wash or you need to cover newly exposed wall space, these professional techniques will help extend their length without compromising style.

Method 1: Fabric Addition (Most Seamstress-Approved)

Materials Needed:

  • Matching/complementary fabric (12" longer than needed)

  • Fabric glue or sewing supplies

  • Iron

Steps:

  1. Remove existing hem with seam ripper

  2. Cut additional fabric to desired width + 1" seam allowance

  3. Sew or glue new fabric to bottom (right sides together)

  4. Press seam flat, then recreate original hem

Pro Tip: Use velvet ribbon as decorative trim to hide seams

Method 2: No-Sew Hem Extenders

Options:

  • Clip-on Faux Hem (available in 3", 6", 9" lengths)

  • Magnetic Hem Tape (holds up to 3lbs per linear foot)

  • Peel-and-Stick Fabric Panels (removable/repositionable)

Method 3: Strategic Hanging Adjustments

  • Install rod 4-6" higher (creates illusion of length)

  • Use ring clips to gain 2-3" of drop

  • Add weighted bottom tape for better drape
