When doing my craft room, I wanted light and bright curtains. I looked around at a few stores, but couldn't find anything I liked. I wanted something a little more customized then was available.
So I customized some store bought panels. And they go right a long with the chevron phase I'm in!
I found these white tab top panels at Walmart, on clearance even!!
Please know that I'm no seamstress, but here are the steps I took.
- I cut the tabs off the top of the curtain panels.
- I ironed the bottom edge of the white panels to get them ready to sew the chevron fabric on.
- I cut the fabric to the width of the curtain panels, then folded over the edge and pressed a seam to the fabric.
- I then pinned the fabric to the panel,
- and using a straight stitch with my machine, I sewed the fabric on.
I hung the panels from drapery rings.
I hung them low enough that they puddle slightly on the floor.
Easy enough to make custom curtains from store bought panels!

I love these!!! What a creative thing to do. I find it so hard to see outside the box. These are so bright and cheery!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! That's the difference between crafters and everyone else: If we can't find what we like, we'll make it!
