Camper curtains

Some notes about sewing curtains for the Toaster.  First of all, while I learned to sew in 4th and 5th grades, I never really excelled at it. But I do believe I can handle small curtains.  There are just a bunch of straight seams after all.

Here are a few promising web sites with step by step instructions.

*Measure the length and then add 18 inches for hemming and shrinkage- I think that is for taller windows! but you need to add some amount for hemming, pocket or tabs, and shrinkage.

*This one seems more intuitive to me.

*For flat, simple curtains.


Some things to consider:
- Do we want the curtains to lay flat when they are closed, or should they maintain some amount of gather the whole time?
- Should there be a little ruffle at the top of the curtain? That can be created depending on rod pocket placement.
-Pockets or tabs? If tabs, should they be tab top or back tabs.
-Liner or no liner?

I pinned some examples of different styles over on my Pinterest board.

Going to go spy on some photos of campers on Facebook! See you there.
