I have a fabric idea, how do I go about finding the fabric (the tough part) and putting it all together?

I want it to be the boy and girl restroom signs.....

And I want the hooks to have the little restroom people?

  1. InstructionsDifficulty: Moderately Easy

    Things You’ll Need:

    Decorator fabric

    All-purpose thread

    Sewing machine

    Yardstick

    Scissors

    Straight pins

    Iron

    Water-soluble fabric-marking pen

    12 grommets

    12 curtain rings

    Step1Measure the opening where you plan to hang the shower curtain. The length of the curtain rod is the maximum finished width. The finished length is determined by measuring from the rod halfway down the sides of the tub. Buy your material to fit this size with an additional 16 inches of length and an additional 8 inches of width for hemming. Two panels are needed to make the correct width for a standard shower.

    Step2Cut one panel in half lengthwise. Pin and stitch one half to each side of the solid panel with the right sides facing each other. Line up the prints on each piece if the material has one. Press the seams open with the iron.

    Step3Use right angles when cutting the sewn panel to the measurement you need. This is the curtain width plus 8 inches and its length plus 16 inches.

    Step4Sew the hem. Do this by turning up and pressing 8 inches on the upper edge of the shower curtain. Tuck the cut edge under and press again to make a double thickness 4-inch hem. Top-stitch through all of the layers along the inside fold. Do the same for the bottom edge. Repeat this for the sides using 4 inches instead of 8 to make a double-thickness 2-inch hem.

    Step5Use the fabric pen to mark where you want the grommets to be. All marks should be made on the right side 1 inch from the top. The first and last mark should be 3 inches from the side hems. The rest should be evenly spaced between those two.

    Step6Read the instructions on the package of grommets. Follow these to apply one grommet to each mark. Attach a ring to each grommet and hang the shower curtain.

  4. Any solid gray fabric will work. Unless you own a mill, you can't make your own.
