These curtains in my kitchen drive me crazy because they are so large they cover a good portion of the window and barely let any light in, and I love light. I always go through the house in the morning and open blinds and curtains to let in all the light. Well, I thought of the simplest thing ever to fix this problem.
Two 44" x 4 1/2" strips of fabric folded right sides together in half hot dog style, long edge sewn, turned right side out, then ironed flat with the seam on in the middle instead of the edge.
Folded in the ends of the strips, ironed, and stitched.
Then ironed on fusible velcro.
Look at all that light now!
So easy and happy!
