How To Sew Shower Curtain

A shower curtain is a piece of fabric that hangs in the bathroom to keep water from splashing out of the bathtub or shower. Shower curtains can be made from a variety of materials, including vinyl, fabric, and plastic. They come in a variety of colors, patterns, and sizes. You can purchase a shower curtain ready-made or you can sew your own. Sewing a shower curtain is a relatively simple project that can be completed in a few hours.

Materials You Will Need:

Fabric (Enough to cover the opening of the shower or bathtub plus a few inches for hemming)
Shower curtain rings
Shower curtain rod
Sewing machine
Thread
Scissors
Measuring tape or ruler
Iron and ironing board

Instructions:

1. Measure the width and height of the shower or bathtub opening. Add a few inches to each measurement for hemming. Cut the fabric to the desired size. 2. Fold the top and bottom edges of the fabric over by 1/2 inch and press with an iron. Fold the edges over again by 1/2 inch and press again. 3. Stitch the top and bottom hems in place. 4. Fold the sides of the fabric over by 1/2 inch and press with an iron. Fold the edges over again by 1/2 inch and press again. 5. Stitch the side hems in place. 6. Insert the shower curtain rings through the top hem of the curtain. 7. Hang the shower curtain on the shower curtain rod.

Tips:

* Use a fabric that is water-resistant or waterproof. * If you are using a lightweight fabric, you may want to add a lining to the curtain to make it more durable. * You can add decorative trim to the edges of the curtain for a more finished look. * If you are not sure how to sew, you can take the fabric to a seamstress or tailor and have them sew the curtain for you.
