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.



great idea! i think i'll be using the same to FINALLY put curtains up over our sliding glass door in our bedroom. thanks!!!
