I bought fabric awhile back to make napkins for my fine china set. When I got it home, there was NO way it was going to match and look nice. So I stashed it away. It's gorgeous fabric anyway, so definitely not a loss. I decided to make a curtain for my "Victorian Eclectic" bathroom.
The fabric spread on my dining table to be ironed (I didn't feel like dragging the ironing board upstairs! LOL)

The original and BLAND curtain. I made this out of a sheet several years ago. You can see it got quite wonky over the years!
The new and improved, and if I may say so myself, BEAUTIFUL new curtain!
There is a "pouf" at the top. I plan on stuffing it if I can find my air pillows for packing. I keep them in case I need them to pack something breakable. However, I think they'll go nicely in my valance part of the curtain!

No pattern. I had a 45" X 1.75yd piece of fabric. Window measures 43" X 29, IIRC. I hemmed the sides and bottom of the curtain. Then I measured from the bottom of my sewn fabric up towards the top the length of the window. From that point I folded the top down (RST) then half less 2" folded back up. I folded the additional 2" over the back, sewed a thread all the way across the top (leaving a loop enough for a rod to go thru), then used pinking shears to cut the excess away on the backside. If that is hard to foolow, LMK and I can do an entry on the instructions! LOL
