Hi and welcome to the forum! I would suggest getting a good book like the Singer home series or Sunset's Draperies, Curtains and Shades. Either of these have good directions for measuring and making.
Singer's newest book (http://www.bestwebbuys.com/The_Complete_Photo_Guide_to_Window_Treatments-ISBN_9781589232945.html?isrc=b-search)
Sunset's newest book (http://www.bestwebbuys.com/Curtains_Draperies_&_Shades-ISBN_9780376017406.html?isrc=b-search)
You could also buy older versions which are just as good or your local library will have books also.
