A rag shower curtain I made and sold to order. |

The first rag curtain I made and sold to order. Â The customer uses it in her kitchen.
I purchase my fabric (usually curtains and tablecloths) from thrift stores and cut them into strips that I tie onto jute twine. Â It is a labor-intensive and time-consuming job, but very rewarding. Â I have to measure each strip and the length of the twine to customer specification, but cutting the strips doesn’t have to be precise at all. Â Jagged and raveled edges just add to the overall charm. I found out quickly that I did not charge enough for the time and labor, so I will be adjusting my prices to reflect that. Â I still plan to offer a better product for less. I plan to make some rag curtains for my Scamp trailer as well. Â I plan to add among the burlap, tulle, and muslin some of the upholstery fabric I used in the cushion covers. Â I can’t wait to start on those! The rag curtains also make cute skirts, like the skirt on the old chair I made a couple of weeks ago. Â (that post here) Â I also think they would make cute gypsy prom skirts, but I haven’t gotten that far yet. Â Don’t tell anyone! Â ; ) Rag curtain or skirt, anyone? XOXO
