Well, they came out way pink (even washed them several times) so now Goodwill gets pink curtians instead of white. Still looking for the right color without spending a fortune. Buying them is cheaper than getting material and making them.
Ah, another journey to travel.
Bed sheets make great curtains. 2 twin or 2 queen, depending on the width of your closet should do it. Except for sewing a casing, the rest is already hemmed. In the process of sewing the casing, you can shorten the sheet if needed. Lots of colors & designs to choose from & depending on where you buy them, cheaper than buying equal amount of fabric.
