How to Make a Denim Shower Curtain

Make this denim shower curtain to add
country charm to your bathroom decor. It works well in a family
bathroom or as a functional accessory in a boy's western cowboy bathroom. The
simple construction will allow this shower curtain to hang in front of a liner,
and the denim is durable material that is ideal for a room that will experience
moisture and humidity. Recycle old blue jeans to
add accents to the shower curtain and provide a rustic look.

Difficulty:
Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 4 1/4 yards denim fabric


• Measuring tape


• Scissors


• Straight pins


• Sewing machine


• Heavy-duty sewing machine
  needle


• Iron


• 2 or 3 pairs of old adult-size
  blue jeans

1. 1

Cut two
lengths of the denim fabric 37 inches wide by 74 inches long. Place the two
pieces together with their right sides facing. Pin on one 74-inch edge. Using a
denim or heavy-duty sewing needle on your sewing machine, sew the pinned edge
using a 1/2-inch seam allowance. Open the sewn denim and press the seam
flat. This is the vertical middle of your shower curtain. Your denim will now
measure 73 inches along the top and bottom edges and 74 inches on each side
edge.

2. 2

Fold 1/2 inch
to the wrong side of the shower curtain on a 74-inch edge and press. Fold over
another 1/2 inch, press and pin. Repeat on the other 74-inch edge. Sew the
pinned edges. Fold 1/2 inch to the wrong side of the shower curtain on the top
edge and press. Fold another 1/2-inch, press and pin. Repeat on the bottom
edge. Sew the pinned edges.

3. 3

Cut around the
back pockets from two pairs of old blue jeans. Cut through the seat of the
jeans and next to the edge of the pockets. Lay your shower curtain on your work surface with the right side up. Measure from
the left edge of the shower curtain 12 inches to the right and 36 inches up
from the bottom edge. Pin a back pocket at this measurement. Measure over
another 12 inches and pin another pocket. Repeat two more times. Topstitch on
the sides and bottom edge of each back pocket. Do not stitch the tops of the
pockets closed. These pockets will function as a place to put extra washcloths,
razors and anything else you may forget until you are in the shower.

4. 4

Cut the seams
from two or three pairs of blue jeans. This is done by cutting on each side of
the double stitched seam. Cut 26 lengths of the jean seams 8 inches long. Use
more jeans if there aren't enough seams, or cut the hems and the
single-stitched seams to create enough 8-inch pieces.

5. 5

Lay the shower
curtain on a flat surface with the right side up. Measure down 1 inch from the
top edge and, starting at one top corner of the shower curtain, place one end
of two cut jean seams on the measurement. The jean seams should be laying next
to each other and not overlapping. Pin to hold. Repeat with two more jean seams
every 6 inches, ending at the other top corner edge. Topstitch over the pinned
ends of the jean seams. Backstitch several times to secure.

6. 6

Separate each
pair of attached jean seams and tie in a knot around the shower curtain rod,
beside each curtain ring on the shower curtain liner.
