I managed to purchase the fabric at Hobby Lobby for a great price! The fabric is 55 inches wide and 3 1/2 yards long. I cut the fabric in half length wise. After doing so, I folded each half with the print side of the fabric on the inside. I sewed a long seam and then one end completely closed. The other end, I seamed all the way but left about four inches unstitched. I turned the fabric inside out to the print side and sewed up the four inches I had left open. I pressed the curtains after I finished sewing. Then all I had to do was hang them! I purchased two inexpensive cafe rods and a pack of rings with clips. I clipped the rings onto the fabric to get it to swag just the way I wanted. TA DA! All finished!
This is our kitchen treatment I made! It is similar to our bedroom but just a bit different! I had left over fabric so I had to piece it together to get a long enough stretch to cover the whole window. I just ran a basic seam along the top, bottom and sides. Then I added the pom pom trim along the bottom. Along the top I sewed three strips of ribbon to tie the treatment. I purchased 3 door knob pulls at Hobby Lobby and used dry wall anchors to help screw each knob into the wall. Once I had placed the knobs, I tied each strip of ribbon to the knob! There you have it!!

I'm stopping by from Kelly's Korner to check out your window treatments.
I recently changed our master bedroom curtains from tab light blue curtains to chocolate brown blackout. What a positive difference they made.
I still want to purchase something for our patio doors. Maybe I'll get some ideas from my tour!
Great job on the window treatments. I love your fabric choices.
its so impressive to see what people can make on their own!
way to go!
