I covered a small window in my kitchen with a vintage pillowcase.

You Will Need (2 things)

  • Cotton Thread
  • Vintage Sheet

Steps (5 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    ...

  2. 2

    Measure the window dimensions. My window is small, so I could use a pillowcase with minimal cutting.

    Remember when you measure, you want to add an inch at the bottom for a hem, and a two inches at the top to fold over for the sleeve where the curtain rod fits through.

  3. 3

    Measure and cut your fabric. Remember, you will be hemming the fabric at the bottom as well as top.

  4. 4

    Fold over one-inch around the remaining edges of the sheet, ironing and pinning as you go. If your sheet does not have a hem at the top, fold over a two-inch piece of fabric. This is where you will feed the curtain rod through.

  5. 5

    sew the hem down, making sure to leave openings at the edge of the top hem so you can fit the curtain rod in.
