Shower curtain from a drop cloth

At least 12 years ago I purchased a huge paint drop cloth from Helm Paint & Supply to make a custom shower curtain for my New Orleans apartment's 10' high ceilings. Folded the top and sewed a curtain pocket - easy, cheap and fast.
Moved to Houston with a typical ceiling height so folded over the the top to make a wider heading and learned how to install grommets.

Every once and awhile a guest will comment on the paint drop cloth shower curtain and say, "You know, you could paint on that curtain" and the idea has never appealed to me. I love the rough linen-like texture and simpleness but this year opted to mix a little refinement with the humble and added a monogram.

Kitty loo curtains

Elizabeth purchased one curtain panel from Lowe's ($4, make ya holler) and we cut it up to make a lavatory skirt (photo to appear in upcoming blog entry) AND curtains to hide the kitty's litter box. Welcome to the Pooh Loo Lounge!

Curtains, valances and skirts - oh my!

My friend Elizabeth just moved, wanted new window treatments and totally played me for being the better sewing girl of us two. Anywho, I fell for the bait and made a few simple window treatments and am impressed. While Elizabeth and I have never-to-be-doubted fabulous taste, we cannot seem to measure for shit so every fabric had to be pieced and lined with other fabric because we purchased too little yardage. How much fabric did I have left over? NONE! Please to enjoy, photos of curtains below.
