This week, We Grow By Our Dreams is celebrating Red and White Week. All week I'll be featuring crafts, food and other fun stuff as a tribute to the red and white color combo. To kick off the week I have a quick, inexpensive and easy sewing project for you to make for yourself or to give as a gift. Introducing. . . .
The Curtain Apron
You'll need:
1 Curtain panel with rod pocket
1 17" piece of 1/2" elastic
Safety pin
2 36"x 4" strips of fabric for ties
pins, scissors and sewing machine
First, choose a really cute curtain. I bought mine at an estate sale. Usually these panels come in a set but this beauty was a loner. I love the ruffle and the embroidered flowers. You may have a kitchen curtain you'd like to retire or you may find a great one at a garage sale or on clearance somewhere.
Second, find a cute coordinating fabric for your straps. I had some red and white check fabric in my stash. Cut the fabric into two 1 yard by 4 inch strips.
Now, flip each tie inside out and tuck one end in 1/2 inch inside and sew shut. Leave the other end unfinished.
Finish by sewing the elastic piece and the unfinished edge of each tie to the inside of each end of the rod pocket. It helps to pin in place.
There you go, the Curtain Apron. If you try it, please leave a comment with your link and any suggestions you may have to improve it. 
Thank you for stopping by today.
