Here's a quick way to jazz up a window and provide your child with a handy place to tuck away action figures or other lightweight toys. Yes, there is sewing involved, but it's all straight seams.
| Prep Time: About 1 to 2 hours | |
| What you need: | |
| Solid-color cotton curtains
6 colorful bandannas 6 cloth napkins Straight pins Fringe trim (optional) | |
| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: curtains, fringe | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | First, transform each bandanna into a pocket by folding it in half diagonally so that it resembles a triangle with one corner facing directly down. Then fold under both sides and press all the edges |
| 2. | With the cloth napkins, create rectangular pockets by
folding them in half once, then again, and pressing all the
edges.
|
| 3. | Now lay the curtains flat on a smooth working surface and
pin on the bandannas and napkins, arranging them in staggered
vertical rows.
|
| 4. | Machine-stitch the sides and bottoms of each pocket to the curtain, removing the pins as you go. |
| 5. | Finally, stitch fringe trim to the pocket bottoms, if desired |
