For curtains and valances with a pocket for gathering or shirring onto a curtain rod.

1) To Determine Width:

• Measure the width of each window you plan to decorate.*
• Round the measurement to the nearest inch and multiply by 2 or 3, depending on the desired amount of gathering (fullness) you want.
• Divide this number by the width of the curtain pair, panel, or valance to determine how many to purchase. Round to the nearest whole number.

Width of Window x 2 (or 3) ÷ Width of Curtain or Valance = _________.

2) To Determine Length:

• Measurement is from the top of the rod.
• Popular Curtain Lengths:

1. 63 inches-hangs to windowsill on most windows
2. 84 inches-hangs to floor on most windows
3. 95 inches-for use on taller windows or to puddle on the floor

• Move rod up or down to adjust for the length of the curtain panel.

*Important Note: Because not all windows are exactly the same, measure each window separately.
