I Created My First Curtain! - 7/28/2008

The photos are of the curtain I made for my master bathroom.

I found the fabric in the remnant bin at Joanns & it's one of my favorite looks - kind of a gothic victorian. I love that more ornate style paired with minimal shapes. That is my dream decor!

Anyway, I didn't line it, since the bathroom is pretty dark anyway - I just wanted to cover up the ugly window frame. So, instead of sewing two rectangles together & just turning them inside right, I mitered the corners for a clean look.
The basics of the curtain are: I prepped & mitered the bottom two corners. I sewed a hem around the entire rectangular piece of material. Then I doubled over the top & sewed that. Then I put it up using a small rod with a spring.

I read a really great tutorial in Threads magazine & that inspired me to try the mitered corners. I think I did a great job - especially for my first.

I will be posting my own mitered corner tutorial tomorrow so be sure to come back & visit!
