Cutting Tabs for Making Tab Top Curtains

Hi, welcome to Expert Village, I'm Gretchen Soares with Butterfly Boutique. Okay, we're now going to work on our tabs. We're going to cut the tabs. And so we're going to press it so that the seam is sort of to one side. We don't have to worry about measuring because we already did that and it's going to end up nice and even. You're just going to work this so that the seams stays in pretty much the same spot all the way down. Okay, I'm going to lay these out together so that we only have to make one cut and cut two tabs and we're going to figure out how long we want these to be. We're going to end up with four inch finished tabs and since they fold over we're going to need it to be eight inches and we're going to fold and inch up in to the inside so that it's nice and sturdy. So we're actually going to cut these at ten inches long. So we're going to line this up, make a line, and another line. Okay, next what we're going to do is we're going to take these back to the ironing board and press them making sure that the seam that we just pressed is to the inside so that doesn't show on our finished product.
