Making blackout curtains can seem kind of intimidating but it's actually very easy.
Supplies you'll need for this project:
Step one is cutting your fabric to the length and width of your choosing.
My little one is notorious for ripping off whatever bib I put on her. Which, of course, results in dirty clothes that can be rather hard to clean.
In my efforts to keep her clothes covered I bought the nice big plastic-y kind of bibs. Without fail they always got ripped off. What is it about bibs that make kids want to rip them off?
I saw at a baby shower once, the bibs made out of dish cloths. Pretty ingenious, but I kind of wanted something just a little cuter.
Let me just start by saying, I absolutely love how these curtains came out! I used burlap for my fabric, which ended up working out tremendously, seeing as I needed 11 YARDS and it's a cheap fabric, especially if you have a coupon. I had never used burlap before so it was a little bit of a learning curve on how to work with it.
VERY important: you do not want to cut burlap on what you think is square! To get a straigth line with burlap you actually pull a string out from the weaving. When you cut burlap on a square you may think you are cutting straight, but you aren't.
