Measuring an Opening to Make Tab Top Curtains

Hi, welcome to Expert Village, I'm Gretchen Soares with Butterfly Boutique. Okay, so today we're going to be making tab top curtains and the first thing we have to do is to measure the opening or the area that we want it to do that in. And this is what we're making a replacement for today, so we're going to measure how wide it is. Forty-three inches and how long we're going to want it. I measure all the way to the floor and then we'll back off when we're figuring the cutting. So this is eighty-two inches. So this opening is eighty-two by forty-three. The most important part is the width, so we are at forty-three inches from bar to bar. And then we're going to measure from the floor up to the bar and when we figure out layout, we're going to pin up to we don't care where it lands right now. We're just going to measure from the floor up and the surface is eighty-two. I like to double measure because it's always better to measure twice then cut once. So again forty-three by eighty-two.
