When buying ready-made curtains it can often be hard to find the right length for your windows, so it's good to know how to shorten curtains. On the plus side, it's a super easy job that you can even do without sewing, but if you're handy with a sewing machine it's a relatively quick project.
Plain curtains tend to be easier to shorten than patterned as you won't have to line up with the design and they can be a bit more forgiving if things aren't quite straight, so take this into account when looking at curtain ideas.
