You will need to measure how long and then add approximately 2 to 3 inches for the hem. Remember to turn over 1/4" so that you hem has a nice finish.
After you decide and have your measuring finished. Then it is time to sew. (Sorry, I am experiencing issues with my picture.)
I now have my panel finished and can do the next one.
Here is my completed project. As you can see, this was pattern that I had to match up. This can make it a little more challenging but not impossible. Take your time and you will be pleased with your finished draperies.

After you do both sides, now you are going to turn over approximately 1/2" and sew again.
After you have done both sides, you will then proceed to the top of the drapery panel. Again you will fold it over 1/4" and sew.
Next you will turn it over again. Because I am using the clips, I wanted it just a little wider at the top so I turned it over approximately 3/4". Then you will sew that again.
Now you will have three sides completed. Tomorrow we are going to finish up with the hem and then you will have completed one drapery panel.

To start your project you need, of course, your fabric and thread.
After I measured my window, I found out that the width of this particular fabric was enough to give me a nice panel as I did not want too much gather.
To being you are going to turn over 1/4" on each side and sew.
Do this on both sides and we will continue again to the next step.

For this project, we used the following:
1/3 yard of flannel
1/3 yard of batting (We used a cotton batting.)
Thread
To begin, we cut our pieces to a 12" x 20" piece. We did the flannel on the fold.
You will align each piece up together, flannel will be right side to right side and place the batting on the top.
Now sew your 5/8" seam. We sewed along the longer edges and around each corner leaving a small opening. Be sure to trim the corners so they are not too thick and trim your seam allowance.
Invert your piece so right sides are now out.
Next you will slip stitch the opening shut.
To give it a little different finish, we stitched approximately a 1/4" around all of it as this will help to keep the batting from slipping when being washed.
You now have a burp cloth ready to give as a gift.
These make great baby gifts and are always welcomed by the new mother. You can certainly make any changes that you wish. You do not have to use a batting in the middle. You would just sew the two pieces of flannel and leave it at that. It's whatever you would like to do. Have fun making these.
