OK, to save on money (will it save on money?) I want to make the curtains for our new house. Any and all tips/ideas are welcome. I'm planning to use bed sheets. Is this a good idea? TIA.

Sheets are great, esp for kids' rooms becasue they are WASHABLE. They may be a bit thin for a living room though.

Also, sheets already have the pocket for the rod, heming, etc, so all you might have to do is hang them, or else trim and hang, depending on the windows.

My biggest advise would be measure, measure, measure for length. That seems to be where I mess up most easily. Also give yourself a little more room in the rod pocket than you thing you will need.


Happy Sewing!!!
