Pillowcase Curtain

Since my sheet curtains were such a popular post (many friends have ended up making them for their own homes!), I've decided to post about my kitchen curtain that I made out of a lovely vintage pillowcase.

I knew I wanted a red and white little valance for the window above the kitchen sink. When I came across two pretty little pillowcases at an antique store, I knew I had found the perfect thing for curtains!

I still have the other pillowcase as it sits on Lula's bed and looks adorable.

I fell in love with the hand embroidered flowers.  The pillowcases were only a few dollars each, which was a steal!

To make the curtain, I simply cut the pillowcase the length I wanted.  Then, I sewed a casing at the top for the curtain rod.  Since I used the bottom part of the pillowcase for the bottom of the curtain, no hemming was required!

It's the perfect thing for my kitchen.
