While trying to come up with a shower curtain for Izzy’s bathroom makeover, I kept coming up short. Quite literally. I wanted her curtain to be hung higher and all the shower curtains I found wouldn’t work that way. So I decided to make my own using a window curtain. They’re much longer than standard shower curtains and honestly, much cuter.

When looking at options, Izzy and I both pulled this one out at the same time and looked at each other with big ‘ol grins. It was the winner! I had hoped it would be wide enough on it’s own but it wasn’t. Whomp, whomp. But all was not lost! I’ll show you how to take this…

to this.

MATERIALS:

TWO drapes (I found mine here, and also saw them here)
Sewing machine
scissors
eyelet kit (found at local craft store)
shower curtain rings (I used these)
shower curtain liner

STEP ONE: Pull out your second drape (this is your donor drape) and cut the sides off. I cut 12″ off each side to give me the width I needed. I cut from the sides so that I could keep the finished edges.

STEP TWO: Stitch your new side pieces onto your first curtain panel. I zig zagged the edges to keep it from fraying. (Side note: Ignore the grommets, I realized after I had finished the shower curtain that I failed to get a photo of this step)

STEP THREE: Mark the placement of your eyelets (I used 12), cut the opening, and attach the eyelets according to the package’s directions.

STEP FOUR: Hang that puppy up with a shower curtain liner so it doesn’t get soaked and enjoy!
