We are still struggling with getting Ben to take naps during the day, so I decided to make curtains for his room. I scavenged around our basement and found the box with our wedding table cloths (they were just serged blue and white striped heavy fabric). They were very easy to make, and I even had enough to sew lining on the backs. Here are the great directions I used. I followed them pretty closely, but changed the top because I couldn't figure out her directions on that part. I just folded over the top, sewed a line at the fold and another four inches below to make the tube where the curtain rod goes. Total cost - $0. We'll just have to wait and see if this helps our napping situation any.
