You CAN make a hem out of safety pins if you don't sew...
You should also throw the fabric in the dryer with a wet towel to get some of the wrinkles out. Pull it out as soon as the cycle is done...make sure that it is ok to dry first...check the label. Sometimes stuff has a backing that does not like the dryer...
I do sew, but see no need for a hem. As for wrinkles, you're assuming I care how it looks, which I don't because it's only me and the cats who will see it.
It appears to be stuffed over the rod...is it even in a pocket (hem)? The right side looks like it has a corner that hangs out...
Personally I like things to be smooth. Every time I looked at that it would be UGG...to me wrinkles and stuff like that are visual noise...
And let me tell you it is LOUD here in my room but little by little it is getting quieter....
My blinds fell off the other day...they were not in good shape and my ex used to yank on the cord really really hard to try to get them to go down.
Right now I have a large piece of upholstery fabric nailed to the wall with tiny brads...and a second piece of polar fleece fabric over the still uncovered area...It blocks the light but it looks like shit and if I want light I have to use a large rubber band to gather the larger fabric. It would totally make me nuts if I did not love the pattern on the big piece...just wish it was bigger and that there was a way to open it or pull it up...on the third floor I don't worry much about peeping...I figure if someone is going to the trouble of using a telescope or binoculars to peep at my 50 year old body.....whatever...
The curtain is on standard curtain hooks which managed to fit into the gap at the top of the blinds holder.
The apartment is at ground level, and the bedrooms face a very busy pathway and an area where people walk their dogs, but no one can see through the blinds. This is about having a dark bedroom.
