Make. Refashioned Curtains
I spent last week at my mom's house. She bought a brand new Baby Lock sewing machine and was anxious to use it. Her first project were curtains.
She cut off the fabric sides and added interfacing to the back to make them a little stiffer.
In this photo you see how she ironed on the interfacing.
She folded over the top and sewed it shut to make a casing for the curtain rod.
The biggest part of her project was making her side panels. These weren't difficult, just a little bulky to work with.
Have you ever used a bed skirt for any other purpose?

So far I have just used a bedskirt to make a valance for my kitchen...I have more of it that I plan to use to make a matching skirt for the utility cart...if I ever get around to it.
Your Mom did a great job! I haven't done anything with a bedskirt...yet.
Great idea! Guess that is why she has a crafty daughter!
Oh wow! I like how that turned out! I have never even THOUGHT about using a bed skirt for any other purpose. ...until now that is! Now I'm eyeing all my windows to see if they need some curtains! :)
The valance and curtains look terrific! Great job!
