When summer started we moved Little Miss' bed under her window, thinking it would be cooler for her. I was worried about her curtains being too long and dragging on her bed, which in my mind, led to her stepping/rolling/laying on them, causing the entire curtain rod to come crashing down. So I decided I was going to devise some way to rig up my version of a roman shade. This is what I came up with.
Before:
After:
I sewed purple and white 2" ribbon around the edges of her curtains (just to make it prettier). Then I sewed two rows down the middle of the curtain, roughly dividing it into thirds. I sewed one side of the ribbon, then about every 8" I sewed a 1" seam to create a little loop. I left about 10" of ribbon hanging down at the bottom so I could thread it through the loops I had created. Then I pulled on the ribbons to raise the curtains. Lucky for me, you can't tell I sewed the ribbons on crookedly (oops!) and Little Miss can't work the system, so it stays in place.
