shower curtain

Before buying a sewing machine that did button holes, I used grommets in my sheet shower curtains. I always re-enforced the portion I was using as the top by adding a piece of an old sheet double the width of the hem. Folded it over sewed it to the side that faced the tub, nice and neat looking and put in the grommets. Never had one pull out. Right now I'm using a ready made lace curtain with vertical button holes. It's been up for at least 6 years, washed in the machine multiple times and has never had a tear. Of course I don't have any curtain swingers around right now. Juno

I dunno, Cea. It worries me. We're raising a bunch of candy-assed kids today. I remember playing in the springhouse, trying to knock each other into the water in the summertime. Man, that water was cold!! You had to dodge the milk cans when you went in, too. I liked it a lot better than having to put on a snowsuit in the winter, just to go to the outhouse and take it off, then put it back on and run back to the house.

My sister's child minder did exactly this one time...

She took the kids next door to visit her parents pet pigs (Saddlebacks, not those tiddly Vietnamese things!) and hose them own one very hot day. The kids (her little girl, Little Sis's two lads) all got exceedingly muddy, so the child minder hosed them down on the patio, stripped them to their skin, carried each one through to the downstairs bathroom of her parents house, and bathed them while the clothes were in the washer.

When my sister went to collect her two boys, the younger was dressed in some of the daughter's clothes and a spare pair of pink flip-flops, but the older (aged 5) utterly refused to put girl's clothes on, so sis had to carry him up the lane, all nekkid and unadorned! If she'd known their state she would have taken spare clothes with her. Typical of my older nephew: naked rather than a pink T shirt and leggings! We still giggle about that one, even though he's now 15.

Mum didn't *quite* hose Big Sis and me down, but she did stand us in the kitchen sink and strip us after one particularly grand half hour in the garden after rain and a 3" deep puddle full of grass cuttings... Judging from the pix Dad took, I was about 18 months old.

Ya just never know. Mine don't swing on the curtain, but they do both seem to think that it will double as a hand towel. *sigh* Which one is the worst about this you ask? The boy? Or the girl? Why my delicate little flower of course. When I walked past the bathroom door one day to find her wiping her hands and face on the shower curtain I nearly had kittens. Himself just comes out of the bathroom shaking like a dog.

......it's always sumpthin'

I make them often, patchwork, whatever design I'm in the mood for. Follow a storebought one (or a liner, which you will need anyway) for measurements. Make buttonholes the distance apart as are on the storebought liner, and voila, gorgeous shower curtain.
