Tip About On Making Quilted Shower Curtains
Have you been surfing the net trying to find some information about making quilted shower curtain? Let’s just say you have found what you have been looking for. I believe this post will satisfy your desire.
It is important to have all the necessary information before engaging in such an important and time consuming task. So if you can just take a few minutes to read right to the end and you will be glad you did.
The sad reality is, that in most cases you have a certain idea or vision about how you want your bathroom to look. For instance you may be considering brown and purple shower curtain or hookless shower curtain with snap liner {blended|accentuated|beautifully combined} with an assortment of beautiful colors but it’s not easy getting what you want because your local bathroom store doesn’t sell them. How can you go around this? Simply do it yourself.
Below are some few pointers to get you started.
If you are looking for a lighter one try to avoid adding any kind of batting.
You need to make sure it is waterproof or else why would it be a shower curtain.
You can also make only a quilt top and a plastic curtain for a lining. You can just saw the quilts at the top and then find some nice rivets to use.
Sewing the quilt to the lining can cause it to be porous, this why I recommend sewing at the top. Unless you don’t have much of a problem with the leakage.
If you choose to go with the quilted top idea you would need to use a backing to hide the seams.
Instead of sewing the quilt to the plastic liner you can make the buttonholes across the top of the hooks. This is good especially when cleaning trying to clean the curtain i.e. you can simply wash the liner separately.
In order to make a standard size place mat, how many pre-cut 4" quilting fabric squares do I need?
I'm a new quilter. I want to make a standard size place mat (with a Nine Patch Design). The fabric I want to use is pre-cut into 4" squares. How many squares do I need for each place mat?
I'm a little confused as to whether you want to use the 4" squares you have as whole pieces in the 9-patch blocks, or if you want to cut them up into smaller squares to use as pieces in the 9-patch blocks.
If you used the 4" squares as is as the (9) pieces needed for a 9-patch block though, you'd really only have room for ONE 9-patch block in your placemat, with a little room leftover for a border perhaps! (...each 9-patch block would finish at 10.5 inches" since 3.5" x 3 = 10.5"). But I don't think that's what you want.
...If you did want to make it that way though, you could make it larger by adding more blocks (or probably partial blocks, just cut them to the size needed) to those --or far easier, just add a border fabric around the whole unit to bring it up to the size you want.
So if you want to use more than one block (9-patch) for your place mat, you'll need to cut each 4" block into smaller pieces then use those in each block.
For example, if you cut the 4" squares into four 2" squares, 9 of those (as a 9-patch block) would end up as a 4.5" square unit, if my math is right, so then you could use 6 of those 9-patch blocks (in a 3 x 2 grid) to make a placemat that was 13.5" wide and 9" tall.
It's best to get out the graph paper and just see what will fit and what won't. When using graph paper you'll always be figuring *without* the 1/4" seam allowances on each side of each piece of fabric though... then add them back when actually cutting.
Sorry that sounded confusing, but thought I should add it.

The Observer Heads Out for a Chat with James Franco and Ends Up At an AA Meeting with a Full-Service Bar (thepoliticker.observer)
A scruffy Franco, post open bar, pre Q&A (Julie Cunnah Photography)
In our post-fashion week hammock of a lull, with the Presidents Day exodus to
boot, we were surprised when our inbox lit up yesterday afternoon with a short
note from our friends at the Film Society of Lincoln Center: “Hey, do you want
to meet **James Franco**?” What a silly question.
Doing a quick bit of research, we learned he was hosting a remixed screening
of **Gus Van Sant**’s _My Own Private Idaho._ Mr. Franco aptly redubbed his
take on the cult classic "My Own Private River" an homage to the late **River
Phoenix**, a young actor that had made a lasting impression on an even younger
James.
As we approached the Walter Reade Theater for this Franco flavored chapter of
the Film Comments Select Series, we spotted our PR contact and he yanked us
inside. “Come on you have to see this, they’ve decorated the reception exactly
like an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting … except there’s an open bar.”
Having seen our fair share of flicks depicting AA meetings, this fit the bill:
chintzy channel fabric hung the walls in medieval monotones, utilitarian
foldout tables piled high ...
