HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN NOREN
Measure width of door or corridor. Decide length. Buy appropriate amount of fabric (taking into consideration seam allowance), thread, and curtain rod. Cut out main body and loop sections, matching any horizontal pattern or design. Join sides of section A to B, and B to C, by stitching 6 inches down from top of each section. Press seam allowance open. Finish edges of main body and loops by turning raw edges under twice and slipstitching or machine stitching. Corners may be mitered if desired. Fold loops in half lengthwise, right sides together, and stitch. Press seam open and then turn right side out, centering seam. Turn raw edges under. Fold loops in half and place main body of curtain so that 1 inch is between layers. Position rightmost and leftmost loops flush with edges of main body. Center other two loops on seams. Machine stitch or hand sew loops to main body, bearing in mind weight of curtain and diameter of curtain rod. (Note: The pattern below is for a 35-inch doorway.)
