Total Time Needed: 1-2 Hours
Here's a quick way to jazz up a window and provide your child with a handy place to tuck away action figures or other lightweight toys. Yes, there is sewing involved, but it's all straight seams.
Materials
- Solid-color cotton curtains
- 6 colorful bandannas
- 6 cloth napkins
- Straight pins
- Fringe trim (optional)
Instructions
- First, transform each bandanna into a pocket by folding it in half diagonally so that it resembles a triangle with one corner facing directly down. Then fold under both sides and press all the edges.
- With the cloth napkins, create rectangular pockets by folding them in half once, then again, and pressing all the edges.
- Now lay the curtains flat on a smooth working surface and pin on the bandannas and napkins, arranging them in staggered vertical rows.
- Machine-stitch the sides and bottoms of each pocket to the curtain, removing the pins as you go.
- Finally, stitch fringe trim to the pocket bottoms, if desired.
