Can't find curtains for 18 x 46 window?
Question:I have two small rectangle windows on each side of my front door that I would like to put sheer panel curtains on. However, when I try searching for some, either online or in store, I can't find them. Am I not calling them by their correct name? Any idea where to find some? I would make my own but I cannot sew at all. Help!
Answers:
How about etching your windows instead. Just use etching cream from a craft store. You could even do a design.
Otherwise, you could try using fusible webbing to cut other curtains to the right size. I don't know how to use my sewing machine either! So fusible webbing is just ironed on and is washable. You cut it to the length/width you need and iron it on one side of your fabric, tear the paper backing off, then fold over your seam and iron the two sides together. You can find it in fabric stores.
Good luck!
have them made, it wont be that much more if any. that way, they are exactly what you want.
curtain panels traditionally come in 3 different lengths 44" 63" and 84" and some come in 118" as well but they are less common... the widths can varry but as far as specifically 18X46 you will not find them thoe this isint always a problem thoe with a sheer it might be an issue... if your near an ikea you can get the sheers they have you cut them and they come with an iron strip to hem the curtains and its all no sew...
I always get mine from Ikea. http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/se...
You'll have to cut the width down to fit your desired size. How can you go wrong for under $7 plus shipping? Bummer that you can't sew. Don't you know anyone who can run a simple stitch for you? That is a non-standard size so you will need to be creative. You need to learn to sew. :)
How about putting a 'stick on' plastic film on the window. These can be bought at Home Depot and come in various stained glass designs. You can choose a darker color if you want to block light. It is inexpensive and serves the purpose well. They can be cut to any size. Just wet the glass and stick the plastic on it.
