Have you been surfing the net trying to find some information about making quilted shower curtains? This is exactly where you will find what you are looking for. This post has been written with you in mind.
Before engaging yourself in this project you need to be well equipped with some information and tips that may seem trivial but will prove useful along the way.This is why I invite you to read right to the very end and you will be realise how useful this post is.
The sad reality is, that in most cases you have a certain idea or vision about how you want your bathroom to look. For example you may be considering cheap purple curtains or hookless shower curtains {blended|accentuated|beautifully combined} with an array of colors but only to find that your local bathroom store doesn’t sell them. This is where DIY comes to play.
Here are some thought starters.
If you are looking for a lighter one try to avoid adding any kind of batting.
Quilts can make the curtain porous so you need to me tactful with your stitching.
You can also make only a quilt top and a plastic curtain for a lining. Buy some rivets and then saw the quilt at the top to the lining.
As highlighted earlier sawing the quilt on to the lining can cause it to leak, this why I recommend sewing at the top. Unless of course you don’t mind the possible leakage.
If you choose to go with the quilted top idea you would need to use a backing to hide the seams.
You can also make buttonholes across the top of the hooks instead of sewing the quilt to the plastic liner. This will leave you with an option to wash the liner easily and separately. You can even throw it away when it wears out without losing the quilt.

I think it’s best to use a completely separate waterproof liner with a quilted shower curtain. This way you don’t need to line the outer shower curtains with normal lining fabric (just make sure your seams and stitching are neat) and it is easier to wash.
