the way ive did mine and am making two at the moment as decorating daughters room next week in hold will post photos when done.

use a length of 2x1 fastened to wall attach stick and sew velcro on it.

sticky side to wood i use staple gun too for extra support.

sew other side to blind.

i use blackout lining and cut strips for my rods from the excess lining and i buy thin dowel and slide this into pockets, i dont use weights and they always hang nice

Thanks, I'll have a go, I have loads of leftover fabric I can use to make the pockets. Will you be posting pics in your blog? Can you post the link?

So do you then apply tape and rings plus cord?

Yes when it's done we have been filling and caulking today, sanding and painting tomorrow then I have all the woodwork to do then I gave to finish two blinds, make a cover for some foam for a seat make some cushion covers and put everything back in the room and buy and build a wardrobe and it's supposed to be a holiday but little girl really looking forward to it being done and she is helping

Been away to family - took sewing machine with me. Made curtains for DGS's room.
Photos of curtains that I made this week. It is IKEA fabric - not good for the eyes. They are lined with a black curtain fabric so thick to sew. I am not happy with how they hang - DS needs to alter the curtain pole fittings.
