Make Curtains Longer!

This weekend I decided that the curtains I had put up to cover the ugly sliding door blinds were not getting the job done. The problem was that I had to hang the curtains over the existing blinds that I'm not allowed to remove. My solution? Sew curtain extensions! 

I decided to go with a vintage looking fabric. Mustard goes with everything :) 

I didn't take any process pictures, but the project was super simple. I cut the fabric to the width of each curtain panel and the length that I wanted (with a 1/2 inch seam allowance on all 4 sides) I wanted my extensions to look like part of the curtain so I decided to see them onto the front of the curtains a little bit higher up. All you have to do is hem each side of the panel and sew them on! It only took about 1 hour! 

Happy sewing!!
