Canvas Curtains

THURSDAY:  Yeah!  Another Creation!

Did you know that you can use canvas drop clothes found in hardware stores for curtains?
Yep.

I am embarrassed to show you my make shift curtains - an old bed sheet clipped up with clothespins.  My hubby was after me for months to either make or buy curtains.  I kept telling him that I couldn't just put anything up (like old bed sheets - ha ha), I had to find just the right thing.
I finally did.


Tah Dah!




I used two canvas drop clothes.  There is literally no sewing involved since they are already hemmed.  However,  I wanted to add pretty brown material to the ends, so I cut off the bottom portion of the canvas and sewed the brown strips on the ends.



I folded the top over and clipped them up. 
 I love the ruffled top look.




-sigh-



I used the left over canvas and made a bed skirt to match the curtains.
I just used the old bed skirt as a pattern.




Nice and classy.
