 "Pin It")
I love everything about the new house, especially the big windows! But there are a few drawbacks...
Uh-oh. Looks like the old curtains are too short.
I'll be showing you how I made them longer in this post.
I took the shower curtain from one of the bathrooms and cut it about 6" longer than the length I needed. I then hemmed the bottom and sides with the sewing machine.
I then sewed them to bottom of the existing curtains.
Ta-da! I'm not crazy about the brown and pink for my daughter's room anymore, but we don't have the money to redo the entire room. Hence the upcycled shower curtain.
Here are a few more views
Do you have any curtains that are too short? I'll be using this trick throughout the entire house... it is really difficult to find {cheap} curtains long enough for 10 foot ceilings!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Blessings,
Jamie
