Bathroom window treatments

I finally had a chance to catch up with some sewing just for my home yesterday. Normally I am sewing for income and my own little projects get put on hold. My bathroom needed a makeover. Not a drastic one mind you but new window treatments and a splash of color. The old window covering were venetian blinds and they came with the house when we bought it. The problem with venetian blinds is the fact they attract dust and mold and I prefer something easier to keep clean.

When I first decided to put up a new window covering I explored my options first. I first looked at the local Walmart to see what they had and the selection was awful, all dark colors and mostly drapes for other rooms in the house. Not something that left any desire for me to buy from them. Next I looked around online and found The Shade Store which offers "solar shades". They are a pull down window shade that offers energy savings. If you stop at their website you get free shipping and 15% off if you use this code - IZEA01

So far I had found nothing that I would like on my 2 large bathroom windows, so off to Jo-Ann's I went for fabric. At Jo-Ann's it took me about 50 minutes before I found something that was suitable. It was not because they had so much to choose from but a lack of large print fabrics. Most of what they had catered to quilting and the prints were on the small side which does not make good curtains.

Measuring and sewing my bathroom curtains only took 2 hours with interruptions but they are finally up. Next project is reorganizing the home office.
