I believe the answer is:

death

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'curtains' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'made at home apart from fringes' is the wordplay.
'DEATH' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for death that I've seen before include "Loss of life" , "killing" , "Demise" , "Last moment of existence" , "The end - after 13 across, the plague" .)
