Wawak sells a product called leather tape. ( very reasonably priced) It is a double face tape that is wonderful. You can even re position it a bit. It is great for applying trim as well. Much easier to use than the iron and fusing tape. Depending upon the fabric, the iron can "fry" the fabric while trying to melt the fusing tape. Another thought I have on shortening is do it from the top ( depending upon the curtain of course) If the back of the curtain is basically the same as the face, you can fold over the top to the front for a flounce/valance and add the alligator clip rings or flip it to the back and add the alligator clip rings. easy peasy.
Most curtains just get dusty-instead of washing and ironing, remove hardware, put in your clothes dryer with a damp towel ( can spray on some fabreeze if desired) NO HEAT and tumble for 10+ minutes and rehang.
I love it how you have made your own brand by giving decorating ideas on a budget. I love your mum's stuff, but cant afford most of it. So I watch and dream over her videos. But yours I can use.
Sorry I think they look better with the wider hem! Thanks
I wouldn't cut the curtains because when you wash them, it will unravel if you don't do anything else to it. If you put your fusible tape at the end of the curtain panel, you can do the same thing, you will just have a hem, which most curtains have anyway. Just a thought.

I LOVE Ikea curtains and have been using the iron on fusing tape for hemming them for years. It never occurred to me to hang the curtains first. Nice tip! Thank you!
are you able to wash the curtains without damaging the tape?
Your link to the curtains is no longer good, can you advise what the name of these IKEA curtains is?
Couldn't you just leave the 5 inch hem and not cut? Would the added weight of the hem help the curtain hang better?
That’s what i think
Instead of cutting the curtain, you could've put the fusing tape on the top of the folded curtain instead of on the bottom. This would've allowed you to use your curtain for future moves or room changes. I hope that helps
I really like this idea. Makes the top rigid too which is good for pleats ❤ thank you!
Great video for someone like me who doesn't sew either. Love your mom, that's how i found you. I think you are great and really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Best tutorial to taking up net curtains! Thankyou🙏🏻
YES!!
Hemming the curtains while they are hanging. You've changed my life!! Lol
I know! I said the same thing! I always put them up, measure, take down, hem and put them back up! What a waste of time haha

WOW!!!!! I think this is the answer to my curtain dilemma. I have a set of sheer panels that are way too long but like you I don't sew. Thanks so much for sharing.
Of course sharrah needs a gold tape measure... Great work!
I always enjoy watching both you and your mom. The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree! 👍 ~~Carol~~

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed. Good call on washing them first.
Subscribed!! Moved into my fiance's house and he had blankets to cover the windows!!! Eeeeeek!! Got a lot of work to do
Such a great hack! I just put up all new curtains and used this tutorial to hem - they look perfect!
That pin cushion is goals 😄👌🏻
I love your taste and ideas, I’m moving in my first house and I definitely want to get some curtains but can you give me the name of the curtain you got from IKEA thanks 😊🔴🔴
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have 2 matching tablecloths, 1 for my eat in kitchen table, the other to make a valance for my kitchen window. The 2nd one has been in a closet for months, because I don't sew. Now I know exactly what to do so I can make my valance. If I ever decide I want curtains in any other room, I'd probably take a trip to Ikea, love that awesome store, and find what I want.
What a great idea! So much easier! I always seem to do things the hard way! Thank you!
Love the Look of the drapes when they puddle like that !! Great Tip, TY !
Love your style. I am buying a small Studio to set up for a Airbnb rental and was looking for decorating ideas........and there your were! The teacher will appear when the student is ready! Thx, Shirley......I'm the one in the middle of my picture! See you again!
Great job honey. Looks awesome. You gave all the important details and made it fun and easy. I think its pretty sweet that we are no longer working together or even living in the same city yet we are on the same page ... My next Design Session is on Window Treatments... I KNOW RIGHT! Thats pretty funny timing I'd say :-) RR (MOM)
Robeson Design Love the way you support each other.

Please post a link to your tutorial!!!

I hate to pin, especially sheer fabric (always poke myself, lol), so I just cut a piece of thin cardboard (like the backing from a writing pad) to the width I need (in Sharra's case, it would be 5-1/2"), line it up with the bottom of the curtain, fold the curtain edge up over it, and iron that section right over the cardboard. Then I can just slide it along, continuing to fold the next section up to meet the edge and ironing as I go. No pinning, and it's faster.
Awesome hack!! I recently moved to a new apartment and this video really helps me and with my long curtains.. Thanks!!
I have pets that do shed furr through the year and they love to sit by the curtains. I see that your Dog may not shed as much. How do you advice to maintain cleaner curtains without a lot of maintenance with pets around?
Fabulous hack. You made it so easy. Thank you🙏
Cracking video. I've got some new curtains which no one wants to do for me due to the Corona issue. Since I'm a man of machinery & investments, your tape advice is perfect for me. God bless, you. M
Wow. Thanks! I've muddled through hemming things before, but these instructions are fantastic. I want to make a colorful curtain for my turquoise bathroom, but bathroom-themed window treatments are few and far between or very expensive, but there are some cute shower curtains I could use to repurpose.
so this was helpful, because I was trying to decide whether to get curtains or not, and you answered the question. since they are the eyebrows of the windows, I get it. I guess I will be getting curtains. Thanks
I love that you don't have to take it off the window! That's just genius!
I did this at my daughters recently! Great tip that most people don't know about! 💚💚
Thanks for this. Your explanation was awesome. You totally made it easy!
OMGoodness!!!!! This is going to help me so much. I don't saw either (plus I'm afraid of a sawing machine/ something about the noise and that needle jumping up & down...scary). Now I can hem my sheers and make them look like a pro did it & not all homemade & janky. Thanks so much for sharing.
The link for the curtains don’t show which curtains those are
Doing this while the curtain is hung is brilliant. I’m going to do that when I hang curtains
Think looks easy,even if I have to sew afterwards,cause I just have the big flowered fabric from dealer for my mobile home windows,so just bought some of this hem band at Jysk.Danke schön.....
Worked like a charm. Thank you very much for this video.
I had to do my curtains about a month ago and it was such a hassle trimming it! I wish this video came out then! Good job sharrah!
thanks for the tip on placing curtain rods near ceiling, instead of just above window. I may not even need to shorten my IKEA curtains now!
I love all your videos! Please post a video of how to set up double layered curtains to darken the room, not particularly having to use a blackout darker curtain shade??
OMG, and here I was getting ready to buy a $40 sewing machine... Big thanks.
Please name of the curtain. I am scrolling through ikea site trying to choose curtain.
Love it! Can't wait for this months design session all about window treatments!
@kadhine007, Me too doll. I have the first part filmed already and I think you're going to love it. Like Sharrahs video, I give you lots of helpful tips and ideas you can use in your own home regardless of your budget :-) See you there! RR
Awesome! By the way, that is the cutest measuring tape I have ever seen.
Amazing! Can I also wash the heavier double fabric ikea curtains? Is there any trick to it? And then I would need to add tape between each layer?
Very nice. Will this work on heavier curtains?
Loved your video! I was able to pick up some tips from watching it!
Thank you so much for this! I just followed your tutorial exactly and my curtains turned out great :) 😍💕❤️
Which ones of the Ikea curtains are you using? Also, how did you add to the shower curtain? Is that a video, if so I can't find it. Please advise. I love both your moms and your channel. Changed my life on decorating.
nice tip! What will happen to the tape if you wash it? Will it loosen after many washes?
Please do the lengthening shower curtain video, I'm in the same boat for mine! I was debating using some fancy beading or trim from the fabric store to add to the bottom.
Your measuring tape is.....golden! 🥇
Sometimes they are a little too......... SHORT! 😄 thats my problem always with IKEA curtains
I like to make a knot on my curtains! It makes them look great too!
I too am a no sew girl! 😂 Unlike my sister in law who makes so many wonderful creations.
In the U.K. we call the fusing web 'wonder web', it's so useful.
Great idea! Still replacing luxury items like everything after Harvey so I will be furnishing new apartment without a sewing machine. Need this kind of hack until we get other things-like furniture:)
Best detailed instructions
Thank you! I really needed this video and didn't even know it! I just moved to a new rental and it already has roller curtains installed. The one's in the bedroom aren't cutting it though because they let in too much noice from the outside so I was thinking on buying new curtains from Ikea and hanging them on top of the roller! I'll definitely do your trick! Thank youuuu!!!
WOW I love how easy it is! Although I do sew .... The curtains I've made and hung are not even and the task of taking them down and a do over is daunting ---- so I will do a quickie six on one of the panels and be done thank you. Lin in Florida
Just bought 13 pairs of curtains from ikea and was ready to shorten them way too long !!!!! Now I know what to do 😀😀
Thank you Saharrah, I like this idea. Pretty nifty to do it while they are on the rod.
What's the best way to do this if you also want to add curtain weights? Just put the fusing tape higher up from the fold to leave some space? x
Just a heads up if u buy these curtain , please do not wash them. If you do wash them wash in only cold water and air dry them. These curtains are cotton and they will shrink. If you plan to move, I'd suggest hemming these and not cutting them.
Great tip!! Thank you I had no idea that I should hang the curtain rod above the window!:)
Best trick ever, just used it :) Thank you Sharrah, you are amazing!
I’ve purchased some beautiful curtains and one set is going on a window with the half round at the top. The half round has one of those fan coverings that I don’t want to cover up, so the curtains that will go below the cover half round needs hemming. My problem with that is these curtains are not to be ironed. So using any type of hem bond that’s available is out because an iron is required. I’m great with my sewing machine too, but trying to create a sharp crease for the hem also will need an iron...I think. Do you have any suggestions for a way to make these curtains the proper length without using an iron. Thank you very much!
Great tip!!
This so rocks! I can sew but look for any reason NOT to. >_< Thank you, Sharrah! xo
I've used fusing tape before to hem curtains, but I always measure then take them down again. Next time I'll try this way.
Omg you are like Robin in how I met your mother series 😍😢😢
Just what I needed for my Ikea curtains (btw I have the same curtain, hahaha). Great idea darling! Thanks!
Which curtains are these ? Do have the name of them? Thank you!
What is the name of curtain?
@@MsTergelsar Sorry, I can`t remember, but I`m sure you can find them online.
Totally groovy Sharrah thanks for sharing I love the hints
This is AwesomeSauce I have too long Ikea Curtains right now woohoo def giving this a try 🤗🤗🤗
V Loves oh ok thanks I will def consider it love
I have 3 sets of ikea tab top curtains and of course they are all too long. I do sew, so gemming wasn’t an issue however, ikea curtains are not even at the bottom. If you fold the curtain in half lining the top up ( since they hand from the top) you will find that they are not even at the bottom so folding up 5 inches from the bottom won’t work
3 set of curtains, not 1 of the 6 panels was even at the bottom
I am working on hemming the curtains in my daughter's room and I was wondering how in the world you kept the no sew tape from moving around? I want to make a nice straight line of tape but can't stop it from getting wonky when I start ironing
That's all I have to do? Genius. Thank you so much for this video. I didn't want to pay for someone to hem my curtains.
Loved the bottles behind you.
Does it work for all kinds of curtains or just the light ones? Cause my curtains are not from ikea and they are black outs as well so they are heavier
Cool trick, will this work on heavier, thicker black-out curtains?
Step 1 - Buy fusing tape
Step 2 - Follow instructions on the packet
Works so well.. thanks.. only issue was when cutting the extra I created a long tear in the curtain😭
This was really useful but my curtains are lined so should I do it differently? Thanks
Wait this is genius!! I love your house hacks videos. Your apartment is #goals. Thanks for sharing!
Yaaaaassss thank you!!!!!
Great video! One comment the switching camera angle while you’re talking back and forth to profile is odd, is like you’re looking away from us.
This is brilliant. Time to get those pins and tape. Thank you.
Love love that too
I've tried this and so far so good, but what happens when you want to wash your curtains in the future? I'm thinking the tape may be ruined unless it's a special glue/tape perhaps.
Omg you saved me!! Love love love! Would this work on heavy curtains?
Hi! I subscribed to your channel because I think that we think the same way in terms of furniture and in life in general! I love your channel!
She reminds me so much of Mr Kate!
where can I get that pin cushion??
Nice 4 inch hem would look professional.
Good simple instructions, but 2 minutes in before we got to the meat of it.
That's great!! Looks fab. Thanks for sharing!
You leave them over long, it's called pooling and very cool in the U.K at the moment, check out Kelly Hoppen
You are amazing, as like your mum...❤️❤️❤️thank you.
Great job ,love the curtain's :) . I wonder if they have them in a very light hint of green ..... for my mom's room. I'm thinking white wall's ?
be sure to re'do them if you wash/dry them as that iron on tape comes loose when you wash/dry them.
