One of my most recent projects has been making a shower curtain. I am 100% certain it would have been cheaper and a whole lot faster to drive to walmart and buy a new shower curtain but that would have taken all the fun out of it.
We had an average run of the mill *white* shower curtain. I am still trying to remember why I thought white was a good choice. It had gotten to the point where I couldn't remove the dark brown dirt stains from along the edges where my 3 little lovelies would grab a-hold of it to enter the shower/bath. I wish I would have had the presence of mind to take a before picture. But like I mentioned before, I'm just learning how fun this blogging stuff can be. But trust me, that shower curtain was not pretty.
So this is what I came up with that seems to be working out well for all involved.
I used the top of the old white curtain so I wouldn't have to fight with/worry about making new button holes for the curtain rings.
Next I added a section of semi-sheer fabric that I previously used to make cafe' type curtains for the bathroom window. This section was all for the grown ups in the house. We prefer lots of light and it was a given that a dark green shower curtain would not allow much light through.
Then I attached the green plaid homespun fabric to the bottom.
Considering that I didn't do much calculating, I am extremely happy with how this turned out.
I think I need something on the top now. Maybe a valance. Hmmm....I guess I'll ponder that while I work on the kids halloween costumes. Where did the time go? How can it be the end of October already??
Check back in a few days. Perhaps I will add some pictures of the costumes in process.
