Privacy, Sweet Privacy

When we moved here this past summer, there was a dense curtain of leaves providing all of the necessary privacy for the upstairs bathroom. Well, they fell, and certain people refused to shower in their own bathroom until I remedied the situation. (Resonable.)

They said, " Just put anything up - it doesn't have to match or look nice."
(Not happening.)

If I was going to do it, I wanted to do it right. I found myself a book with good instructions, bought some drapery liner, and dug a cute fabric out of my stash.


There was a lot of measuring and ironing, and a lot of this...


After ironing and catch-stitching all of my hems and machine-stitching the top together, the slow part began - slip-stitching the lining and the curtain together. So, so slow.


I think it's the nicest (quality) cafe curtain I've ever made.



Too bad I decided it needs to be shorter. Now I get to do that hand hemming all over again, so I can see my window sil.


...at least girls can shower upstairs again...
