This is in frighteningly mint shape, almost unused looking.

Joe:
Curtains are easy - almost always all straight seams.
There are books on the subject, and sneaking peeks when you're in a house with custom window treatments will teach you a lot, too - I learned to make lined cafe curtains that way.
It only gets tricky when you get up into stuff like pinch-pleated draperies, where your measuring and your math had better be right, or your result can be unusable. But even pinch pleats are more a matter of time and attention than any huge skill.
And in this age of jawdroppingly shoddy ready-mades that come in a pathetically small range of sizes, it's hugely satisfactory to have curtains that fit, and which have linings to make them all look uniform from the street. If you'll go to a ritzy part of town (just a visit - we don't want to lose you, LOL), that's one of the first things you notice about the homes of the rich - the windows are well-dressed and all of them look alike from outside.

Looks like it came from a time machine-the person that owned it before must have eaten out a lot!
