Curtains

So, I picked out material for curtains for the three windows in my living room/dining room space. I love the material. (Becky--I decided to do all three windows with the same material after your sage advice percolated for awhile.) Then I looked around online until I found the perfect curtain rod. You can see it here. Then I went looking around at different types of curtains and fell in love with these. This website made it look easy.

For those of you who sew--is it really as easy as it looks?? Because I can't sew. Not really. I mean, I can sew a straight line and I love to piece quilts as long as all the pieces are square or rectangular. I can't really sew. As I have often gotten myself in over my head with my bone-deep belief that I can do anything--only to come to the sad realization that I can't do anything well I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on grommet curtains. Or curtains in general. The other kind of curtain I like is the really plain one with no bunchy stuff at the top and you just fold your fabric over and sew a little pocket to slip the rod through and that's it. But these have to look good when I'm done. Timothy is being a doubting Thomas as to my ability and I have to prove him wrong. He mentioned something along the lines of "you'll whine the whole time about how much you hate sewing" among other things. Just wait, buddy. They are going to turn out PERFECTLY.

PS--the fabric I am using is this.
