Hang Natural Fabric Curtains - PEP BB nest.straw.natcurtains

Here is submission for hanging natural curtain. I had old ones of unknow fabrics, so it was a good time to exchange them. I even made the curtain pole myself. The curtain fabric is from some old cotton my grand-mother left me. She said it was from old flour bag 50-60 years ago, so fun! I use them sometimes to buy and bring home bread from local bakeries without additional bag. I sew them by hand with old cotton thread.

This window used to have 25+ year old blinds that gave out. In the mean time we had tacked a bath towel for wearmth and privacy. Time to fix it propperly!

Curtain is made from 100% cotton twill remnant I found. I hemmed the edges, top and bottom by hand with mercerized cotton thread for a polished invisible look.

I also made round wood brackets and a curtain rod.

I made an egg stand this week out of pallets and I hung some curtains out of a 100% bed sheet I got at a thrift store. I pulled out some wood from the brush pile to make the rods and brackets.
