Tutorial: Easy drapes from tablecloths

Kristi from I Should Be Mopping the Floor has a great idea for making curtains! Instead of using yardage, which can get quite expensive, she uses a tablecloth for each of the panels. Actually, she uses two tablecloths for each panel – a pretty one for the outside and a plain white one for the lining. Smart! And the pom pom trim down the sides is sooo cute!
