Tip About On Making Quilted Shower Curtains
Have you been surfing the net trying to find some information about making quilted fabric shower curtains? Well you have come to the right place. I have put together this post to help someone like you.
It is important to have all the necessary information before engaging in such an important and time consuming task. So if you can just take a few minutes to read right to the end and you will be glad you did.
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 fabric shower curtians purple or ringless shower curtain {blended|accentuated|beautifully combined} with an assortment of beautiful colors 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.
If you are looking for a lighter one try to avoid adding any kind of batting.
Quilts can make the curtain porous so you need to me tactful with your stitching.
I suggest you make a quilt top and then use plastic for the lining. Buy some rivets and then saw the quilt at the top to the lining.
As highlighted earlier sawing the quilt on to the lining can cause it to leak, this why I recommend sewing at the top. Unless of course you don’t mind the possible leakage.
If you choose to go with the quilted top idea you would need to use a backing to hide the seams.
Instead of sewing the quilt to the plastic liner you can make the buttonholes across the top of the hooks. 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.
