Hello! My name is Lindsay on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this clip I’m going to be showing you how to turn the fabric inside out and to make the first line for the rod pocket casing. You’re going to take your fabric and it should already make a circle, you’re going to pull it all the way through so now it’s right side out and your hems are in the inside. From the line the top hem that you just sewed it’s going to make a line at the very top, from that line we’re going to measure 1 inch down and put the straight pins. And make sure it’s a top where the line is and the bottom will have no line at all…and we’re going to start the sewing and make sure you keep your fabric tight then again so it won’t bunch.
