The drapes are the best quality I have ever seen. I don't want to waste them.
Pocket curtains have a pocket where you slip the rod through. To make them you need to hem the top of the material, then sew or use ironing tape to fold the top down about 4 inches to the back. Then leaving about 2 1/2 inches for the "pocket" sew another seam or use ironing tape to seam off the top about 1 1/2 inches tall. This is the pocket where the rod goes. Here is a photo to help see what I meant. Hope this helps Chavela. The pocket is about 2 1/2 inches wide and the top ruffle about an inch to 1 1/2 inches wide.

the size of the Pocket would depend on the size of the rod/pole you are using and it is not necessary to have an edging at the top. Since these curtains are not movable but would hang always in one place it is better to have a lightweight but full fabric, at least two widths of the width of the window.
