Turned Into Curtains from Pioneer Woman Tablecloth

First you’ll want to wash and dry your new tablecloth to prevent any shrinkage in the future. Next, I cut mine directly in half.

I knew I wanted a big ruffle on the top so after I had it cut in half I held it up to my window to see how far down I wanted it to hang. I decide to cut 12″ off the unfinished side to make my ruffle.

I needed a sleeve for the tension rod to slide through so I used the other half of the table cloth that was left over and I cut a 3″ piece from that.

I folded the edges to the center and then pressed it for stitching.

Next I pinned the sleeve to the curtain back only, I left the ruffle out. I ran a stitching line on the very lower edge of the sleeve and then the very upper edge of the sleeve. Lastly, I pressed the whole curtain using some spray starch for a crisp smooth finish.

I threaded the curtain onto the tension rod and then placed it in the window and fluffed as needed to achieve the look I wanted. I hate that our window frames are a dark color, but that’s whole other post isn’t it! lol!
