Project 6 - Curtain for Utility door


Not happy with just the draught excluder...my OH wanted a door curtain too.

Luckily I had the right amount of black sequinned material to make one, although I had nothing to line them with. I got some red curtains that are no longer used (they were in Izzys nursery) - I needed both of them for the lining.

First I stitched them together, they were a few inches too wide and a foot long, so I trimmed the width down but have left the length until they are hung so I can hem them the right length

Then I put the right sides together and stitched the 3 sides, leaving the bottom open. Turned it back the right way ready to put my tab tops on.

I used some of the red material and made tabs, so that about 1 inch by 2 inch was showing for the pole to go through, just stitched these on to the top of the curtain with a big X shape stitching.

I also made a tie back, the same principle as the curtain pretty much, with a loop each end to hook onto.

I cant hang it yet as I need my OH to screw the curtain rail up.
