Cranberry and Tea Dyed Homespun Shower Curtain - $35.00 (Reduced from $45.00)

I made this shower curtain from a Sew Practical pattern and it is made from 100% cotton fabrics. This shower curtain is 68 ½” wide x 71” long. Hang via the button holes that I made across the top of the curtain. The patchwork pattern was machine pieced by me and was created from matching floral/cranberry print and tea dyed muslin. Most of the raw edges of the pieced sections are hidden by a strip of muslin. Those final edges across the top and bottom of those pieced sections (see 4^th picture) were double zigzagged along the back edges and another decorative set of zigzag stitches were sewn across the front and bottom of those pieced sections. That also holds the edges down and aids in preventing fraying of those edges. Machine wash on cold gentle cycle. Dry on low.
