My curtains are two panels each so four total hems left and right side of each panel which equal six extra inches.
Curtains instead of cabinet doors.
Reminds me of my grandmother.
My grandmother always used curtains for cabinet doors and in door ways.
There s an easy way to reduce the cost.
No we re not talking open shelving.
Leaded glass and stained glass are traditional solutions but industrial windows and doors can create a similar effect though in a much more contemporary way.
The extra amount for gathers was 20 which fell between 1 5 and two times greater than my cabinet width.
Fold the top of the curtain around the strip so it s hidden from the front then staple or nail the strip and the part of the curtain that will be behind it onto the face frame of your cabinet.
You d need a heavy duty staple gun or you could also use upholstery staples kind of like u shaped nails.
I have used curtains as doors for years it softens sound and i like the look.
I love the soft look of it.

Then allow for 3 4 or so for each hem.
Forgo standard kitchen cabinet doors altogether.
Cabinet width 30 this measurement is more flexible.
Remember to add 1 5 to 2 times the cabinet width.
