Since we moved into our house last June, all of our windows have been covered in some sorry manner or other (see above!);  Usually a $4 flat sheet from Wal-Mart with clear tacks holding it up. I decided to try and upcycle some of these sheets into decent looking curtains.

I made a shower curtain and matching window shade for our downstairs guest bath.  Here’s the shower curtain:

Recognize the sheet from the first picture?  I added portions of a light blue sheet to the tops and bottom.  I used parts that already had a seam; less sewing.

Then, I found some cafe curtain at Target on sale for a little over $4 and made them into curtains for our porch door:

See, cafe curtain on top and a portion of sheet on the bottom.

I still have a lot to go, but this is a start!  Eight dollar curtains.  Nice right?
