Tip About On Making Quilted Shower Curtains
Are you looking for some ideas on making quilted shower curtain? 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.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 some of the visuals you may have in mind include purple striped shower curtain 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. This is where DIY comes to play.
Here are some thought starters.
In order to make it lighter do not put any batting in it.
Quilts can make the curtain porous so you need to me tactful with your stitching.
It is usually best to simply quit at the top and then use a plastic lining. Buy some rivets and then saw the quilt at the top to the lining.
Sewing the quilt to the lining can cause it to be porous, this why I recommend sewing at the top. Unless you don’t have much of a problem with the leakage.
You can then hide the seams by putting a backing on it especially if you decide to go with the quilted top.
You can also make buttonholes across the top of the hooks instead of sewing the quilt to the plastic liner. This will leave you with an option to wash the liner easily and separately. You can even throw it away when it wears out without losing the quilt.
