What You Must Know Before You Make Quilted Shower Curtains
Have you been surfing the net trying to find some information about making quilted bathroom shower curtains? Let’s just say you have found what you have been 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. 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 instance some of the visuals you may have in mind include cheap purple curtains or hookless shower curtain {blended|accentuated|beautifully combined} with a variety of certain colours but only to find that your local bathroom store doesn’t have them. So what do you do? I say make them yourself.
Here are the recommendations promised earlier.
If you are looking for a lighter one try to avoid adding any kind of batting.
One of the most important prerequisites of a shower curtain is water proofing – so be careful with your stitching.
You can also make only a quilt top and a plastic curtain for a lining. Buy some rivets and then saw the quilt at the top to the lining.
If you choose to sew the quilt on to the liner then it will most probably leak, which makes it better to simply sew at the top. Unless you have other methods to minimise 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.
Instead of sewing the quilt to the plastic liner you can make the buttonholes across the top of the hooks. This way you can wash the liner separately or throw it away when it wears out.
