What You Must Know Before You Make Quilted Shower Curtains
Are you looking for some ideas on making quilted luxury shower curtains? This is exactly where you will find what you are looking for. This post has been written with you in mind.
I will quickly go through a few ideas that you can incorporate and some much needed information that you need to know before you start on this project.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 purple double swag shower curtain or hookless shower curtains {blended|accentuated|beautifully combined} with an array of colors but only to find that your local bathroom store doesn’t have them. This is where DIY comes to play.
Here are the recommendations promised earlier.
You can make it without putting any batting in it to make it lighter.
You need to make sure it is waterproof or else why would it be a shower curtain.
You can also make only a quilt top and a plastic curtain for a lining. Saw the quilt top to the lining and have the rivets made.
As highlighted earlier sawing the quilt on to the lining can cause it to leak, which makes it better to simply sew 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.
You can also make buttonholes across the top of the hooks instead of sewing the quilt to the plastic liner. This is good especially when cleaning trying to clean the curtain i.e. you can simply wash the liner separately.
