Have you been surfing the net trying to find some information about making quilted unique shower curtains? Let’s just say you have found what you have been looking for. I have put together this post to help someone like you.
Before engaging yourself in this project you need to be well equipped with some information and tips that may seem trivial but will prove useful along the way.This is why I invite you to read right to the very end and you will be realise how useful this post is.
You may have tried hard to find what you are looking for in stores to no avail – hence the decision to do it yourself. For example you may be thinking of cheap purple curtains or ringless shower curtains {blended|accentuated|beautifully combined} with a variety of certain colours but the problem is that your local bathroom store doesn’t sell them. So what do you do? I say make them yourself.
Below are some few pointers to get you started.
In order to make it lighter do not put any batting in it.
One of the most important prerequisites of a shower curtain is water proofing – so be careful with your stitching.
It is usually best to simply quit at the top and then use a plastic lining. Saw the quilt top to the lining and have the rivets made.
Sewing the quilt to the lining can cause it to be porous, hence my recommendation to consider sewing the quilt at the top. Unless you don’t have much of a problem with the leakage.
When making it like a quilt top that is pieced together you can then put a backing on it to hide the seams.
Consider making the button holes to be on top of the hooks so you won’t have to stitch the quilt on the liner. This will leave you with an option to wash the liner easily and separately. You can even throw it away when it wears out without losing the quilt.
