    I've taken the plunge after reading @carlperkins001 excellent how to's on trimming and some videos from Youtube on how to use my mum's old sewing machine, I'm currently making some curtains for my van as wanted to learn how to do it - and also continue the whole - I've done (almost) everything on van's resto.

    My question relates to the header tape and how low down the curtain do I need to sew it. Should the curtains cover the track at the top edge or slightly hang below it?
     
  2. Mine are located near the windows. I believe this to be the most common place. :)

  3. The curtain should be just above the track , the tape will determine this how many loops /slots it has , so position for hooks accordingly if you get my drift .

    I took my time and picked it up easy enough, they took a while but I'm well chuffed with my haberdashery skills!

    Blackout lined, with pockets for magnets in hem, and peppered tiebacks.

    Not the best pics...
