Make Your Own Shower Curtain for $8!



My daughter, Healthy Chick (#1), made the above shower curtain from a remnant she found at the fabric store. What she did:

Cut the remnant in half and sewed the two halves together at the selvages, making one wide piece

Hemmed the bottom,

Folded the top over, underneath the folded edge placed a strip of
interfacing. Then she made one-inch

button holes


evenly spaced to the number of shower rings she had in the package.

To finish it, she hung the new curtain with a standard

inexpensive shower curtain liner.




You can see the button holes a little better in this picture. The fabric was wider than the plastic liner, but the excess fabric pleats out just beautifully, no need to worry!

Mom's note: Since it's a sheer poly,

if it gets wet it will dry out in no time flat!



My oldest daughter is a nursing student at USF. We'll call her Healthy Chick... She also has the budget-decorating bug. Her contribution to today's blog is this darling

shower curtain!
