I saw these 100% cotton shower curtains at WalMart. That got me thinking. . . they're cotton, they're cute, they're presewn, they come with hooks. . . what's stopping them from being living room curtains? With just a few alterations, NOTHING is stopping them. And they are so much cheaper than buying regular curtains.
I have two large living room windows- 60" wide by 48" high. One shower curtain covers one window. 60" is the max width that you could use shower curtains for, however, they work great for long windows.
Step 1:
Fold curtains in half and cut down the long length of the cloth
Step 2:
Measure your length and cut- my windows were 48" so I cut at 51". That left me with a lot of seam allowance.
Step 3:
Press your seams. Fold over and press, fold over a 2nd time and press. That's the great thing about converting these curtains because you only have 2 sides to press and sew.
Step 4:
Sew
Step 4: Finished!
Just look at those cute hooks- and they come with the curtain! So easy:
