Ruffled Drop Cloth Curtain

I wanted a simple curtain for the nursery that was thick enough to block the bright AZ sun, so rather than spending big bucks, I decided to make one.

I found a beige curtain at Savers and used a drop cloth we had. 

I cut a large piece of drop cloth for the ruffle.

I made large stitches so I could pull one end of the string to create the ruffle.

Right sides together & sew.

Then we ironed and Adam hung it up. I used a branch for the curtain rod.

Maybe I'll paint some light pink stripes on the top portion, tie ribbon bows on the tabs, or find some other way to spruce it up. I like it. The room is getting cozier and cozier!
