How To Make Curtains Out Of A Pillowcase
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!

Instructions For How To Make A Curtain Out Of A Pillowcase
1. Cut the pillowcase to the length that you need for the size of your window. Make sure to leave a few extra inches at the top for the curtain rod.
2. Then, I sewed a casing at the top for the curtain rod.
3. If you use the bottom portion of the pillowcase, then no hemming is required.
Otherwise, you will need to add a small hem to the bottom.
It’s the perfect thing for my kitchen.
