First stop, Fabric.com! An awesome site! They have tons of great fabric at discount prices. Some of my favorites are the Amy Butler fabrics:
She also has super cute patterns for bags, pillows, hats, aprons and more! Makes me want to take sewing lessons!
So I chose a fabric that I thought would compliment the tones of my cabinets and coordinated with a stripe on my rug.
Next stop, sewing machine! Ok, so the last time I actually sewed something was about 12 years ago. I made an apron that had teddy bears on it. Of course my mother helped me and the apron was so cute once completed with the exception of one minor detail, the teddy bears were upside-down!! (An over-site I blame my mother for! And she found it quite amusing.) Anyway, I still wore it and we even made a matching bow-tie for my teddy bear, Bubba. So what's my point, sewing is not one of my talents! So I recruited a friend with a sewing machine and some basic skills. A few days later I had my curtain! Check out the Before and After:
So much better! Stuart is also very pleased with the convenience.

Stuart is very lucky to have such a nice and talented "mother" who goes to so much trouble to give him some privacy. Upside down teddy bears?? Abby, you were just being fashionable, even back then!
