I've been on the hunt for a new shower curtain forever. The one we have now is from my husband's old apartment - forest green.... It's nice, but very... manly... I guess.
Anyway, not my favorite, and I want something pretty, and frilly! I've seen really nice ruffled shower curtains for buko bucks like this one at Kohl's. Nice, right? Not for $100 though!
Fortunately there are lots of tutorial examples on Pinterest! I used this one from See Kate Sew.
I went to a local thrift store and found a white shower curtain for the backing, and some bed curtains that were awesome and frilly. The pest part? Everything was half off! I bought 5 items and spent $6!! Now that's more like it.
A good pair of scissors later, and I had some wonderful ruffled bits for sewing. I pinned and sewed each row one at a time. I had a few mishaps with the material getting folded up under the sewing needle. Seam rippers are my friend.....
I love my colorful heart pins! Let me tell you, though, I need TONS more pins! On the second-from-the-top row, I made really small ruffles so I needed a lot of pins. I ended up using a bunch of needles to make up for the lack of pins.
Doesn't it make a gorgeous table cloth?! I think I need to make a bedspread like this!
And the finished project!
Now I just need to hang it in the bathroom :) I worked on this over a period of 3 days, and it took me maybe 12 hours (the first day took forever since I didn't really know what I was doing).
The hubster even loves it! He said I should make another one for the french door. I love him <3
