Do you want to know more about how to make quilted fabric shower curtains? Let’s just say you have found what you have been looking for. I have put together this post to help someone like you.
It is important to have all the necessary information before engaging in such an important and time consuming task. So if you can just take a few minutes to read right to the end and you will be glad you did.
The reason why you may have chosen to go with the self-making options might be out of your frustration to find exactly what you are looking for. For instance some of the visuals you may have in mind include purple double swag shower curtain or hookless shower curtains {blended|accentuated|beautifully combined} with a variety of certain colours but only to find that your local bathroom store doesn’t carry them. This is where DIY comes to play.
Here are the recommendations promised earlier.
In order to make it lighter do not put any batting in it.
One of the most important prerequisites of a shower curtain is water proofing – so be careful with your stitching.
I suggest you make a quilt top and then use plastic for the lining. You can just saw the quilts at the top and then find some nice rivets to use.
As highlighted earlier sawing the quilt on to the lining can cause it to leak, this why I recommend sewing at the top. Unless you have other methods to minimise the leakage.
When making it like a quilt top that is pieced together you can then put a backing on it to hide the seams.
Instead of sewing the quilt to the plastic liner you can make the buttonholes across the top of the hooks. This way you can wash the liner separately or throw it away when it wears out.
