There are times that draperies are lined to the top instead of using a
hem, particularly when a valance or cornice board is used. To the length
measurement, add 1½″ at the top for heading and seam. Cut lining in
proportion. Stitch lining and drapery lengths together, bringing edges
even at the top. Clip seam and press open. Cut stiffening the length of
drapery width. Pin and stitch stiffening across the top, taking ½″ seam.
Turn drapery right side out, enclosing heading. Press top and side hems.
Finish hems at the bottom the same as for lined draperies.
