Hall Bathroom

My Labor Day project that I forcasted to take only 3 days has morphed into a three (plus) week project! And such an easy project too: paint the walls, re-purpose accessories to match the room and sew a new shower curtain.


It started like this:




And currently sits in this state:

I have the walls painted. The accessories are in the room, not yet properly placed (tags still hang from some). Awesome.

The problem, I believe, is with the shower curtain. I don't know how to make a shower curtain. I can see it in my head, I just get scared when it comes down to actually doing it. So for now, my shower curtain is fabric draped over the rod with the hooks sitting on top of the fabric:




Not a great picture I know. My issue is with the holes where the hooks go. They are like button holes. I don't know how to make one button hole, much less twelve of them. I read online that there is a "button hole presser foot" on the sewing machine that will make the buttonhole on the fabric. Great, I still don't know how to do it.

My Sweetheart asked why I didn't just buy a new shower curtain. Well, because I wanted a shower curtain that was more than 72 inches long. I want to hang the rod higher so I need an 85 inch shower curtain. Yet another one of my brilliant ideas.

My goal: complete this bathroom this coming weekend. Wish me luck. It's a guest bathroom so no one is using it right now. But with the holidays around the corner...I need to get moving on it!
