Hey there! Today on the blog is a Look for Less project! I am showing you my new curtains in our Master bedroom.

Although, the white sheers were nice they didn’t go with the off white and blue I added to the space.

While searching Amazon I came to a picture of curtains that is a perfect style for our master bedroom. The curtains had me at the wooden buttons.

I added 2 panels to my cart when I realized the price was for a single panel…. And I had two windows to dress. 🙁 so, I removed the 2 panels I placed in my cart. I took a closer look at the curtains and thought I could make them for a fraction of the cost. So that’s what I decided to do. Now, I don’t have a pattern so this might be a little crazy for those that sew curtain.

Supplies to make my curtains:

neutral material – 4 panels at 92″x 59″
colored material – 4 panels at 45″ x 39″
24 large wooden buttons
sewing machine
iron and ironing board
straight pins
ruler
scissors

I tucked away neutral curtains I made for our back porch years ago. I brought the panels down from the attic and added some bleach to the wash.

For the color part of the curtains, I purchased a pair of 40″ x 84″ curtains in Old Time Pottery. The panel was the perfect shade of blue and the material was close to the neutral material I have.

I was in luck with the buttons, I found them in Hobby Lobby at 50% off. Having to get 24 of them, I was happy to see they were 50% off.

Now I have all the items I needed; I am ready to start designing the curtains.

LOOK FOR LESS – FARMHOUSE CHIC CURTAINS

First step – size of panel

I am going with the same size as the Amazon panel. 95″ x 40″.

I cut 4 pieces of the neutral material to 92″ x 59″. Create a hem to each side of the panels, (I folded down 1/2″ and then folded over another 1/2″). Did the same to one 59″ edge to create a hem at the bottom of the panel. I now have four 90″ x 58″ sections.

I cut the two Old Time Pottery panels in half. Giving me 4 sections. I measured 39″ down from the hemmed edge of all 4 pieces, marked and cut. This gave me four 40″x 39″ pieces.
