Custom shower curtains

16 years ago

In one of Shee's posts (I think regarding her master br and bath re-do), the topic of shower curtains came up. Shee and I both commented on not being satisfied with most ready made (store) shower curtains.

For one thing, they are usually 72 x 72 or 70 x 72. I like a shower curtain raised higher and like to come down almost to the floor. The standard size doesn't cover it.

I'm looking at changing things up in our master br and bath a bit and have been thinking about the shower curtain (yes, in my love of fabric, I opted for a curtain over doors). I

saw one on a blog recently that was, in fact, a ready made curtain with fabric added. I've emailed the gal for hopefully a better pic. I'm attaching the pic so you can see what I'm talking about.

I also saw one I loved that had a pleated piece added to a curtain - out of a coordinating fabric.

I'd love to see pics of any of your custom shower curtains if you would share. TIA!!

I agree with you, I am not satisfied with ready made shower curtains either. I hope we get to see pics of custom shower curtains.

Would you happen to know where I can get a shower curtain rod that looks more like a drapery rod. I have looked online but not having much luck. I have looked at Bed Bath and Beyond, they did have one but it wasn't quite what I am looking for.

I saw some on Etsy when looking for custom valances, you may want to do a search there.

tsan - I got a nice orb rod for our master bath - it has decorative ends (somewhat). I found it at Home Depot or Lowes one.

Sears has lots of different styles and a lot of them are the spring loaded kind.

I really like that curtain with the double pleated skirt. I saw another idea when I visited my cousin. She had taken a second spring loaded rod and hung it well above her shower curtain, then had made a lush rod pocket valance with a decorator linen fabric. The valance looked like it was triple width the shower. It hung well below the top of the shower curtain.

There are a lot of extra-long shower curtains online. Pretty one's too! Below is a link for custom curtains. I particularly like the blue curtain on the left.

On Apartment Therapy they suggested sewing part of a sheet to the top of a 72 x 72 curtain if that's all you can find.

The site that Oakleyok provided is nice, but pricey!!!

Here's one I have for a small shower. I did a rod pocket on top because we don't use this shower anymore, otherwise, I'd do clips or tab top.

I used a lightweight quilt to make a shower curtain for our guest bath. Just folded over the top to make it the right length and added grommets. (Slit the fabric with an X-acto knife the make it easier to put the grommets through two thick layers.)

I've made two shower curtains for DD1 out of Shabby Chic twin flat sheets. I use the top finished edge for the finished bottom. Cut what little extra from the other end and double it over for new top. I always had done button holes for the rings. No pictures, sorry.
