Little Girl’s Room Curtains

 

Another item reveal in my little girl room.  Here are the curtains I did.  They were super easy and quick to make.  I thought I might have problems since I added a light-blocking liner, but that turned out pretty simple to add.

 

I started with long, tone-on-tone, white striped material and added a strip of purple flowered material to the top.

 

Then, I added a 5/8 inch grosgrain purple ribbon over the seam. 

Next I added 7/8 inch grosgrain purple ribbons to the top for a tie-on curtain.

I used a thin strip of white material across the top for a smooth seam allowance.

This strip was then ironed to the back. 

After cutting a piece of blackout liner to the size of the finished curtain, I laid it on the back of the curtain and folded the sides of the curtain over, tucking under 1/4 inch on the hem.  Then I stitched along the edges.

 

I hemmed the bottom by hand using a few whip stitches and tied the curtains onto the curtain rods.  The rods I got at Hobby Lobby for just over $7 each with coupons.  They came in a  kit that included the finials and hanging brackets.  A quick coat of white paint and they were ready to go up. 

For the tiebacks, I used strips of the white fabric and put button holes in both ends.

I found these adorable purple buttons in my stash and tied them onto U-nails I hammered into the wall.  Slipped the tieback around the curtain and put the button through both button holes.

The look is perfect for the room!

It’s purplishous!! There are a few other details I want to add to the room in the coming weeks.  Once I get the furniture back in place I’ll reveal the whole room.  Stay tuned.
