Tutorial: Make curtains from bed sheets

Jenilyn from Grits & Giggles shows how you can make a curtains out of a bed sheet. One queen flat sheet will make a pair of curtain panels. Because the edges of the sheet are hemmed, most of the work is done for you already. You’ll only need two seams to make each panel – one to hem the side and one to make a casing. I’m always shocked at the prices and low quality fabrics when I go shopping for curtains. Making them from bed sheets is more affordable and you can avoid that icky cheap curtain fabric. Go to Grits & Giggles for the tute.
