Salon Curtains

I sewed some curtains for the salon. The first is for hiding my disinfection box and strainer. My business colors are orange and teal so I pulled some stash cotton fabric. I didn't have a lot of the orange so I figured I would do a nice band in the middle between the teal. It ended up about two inches too short even though I measured (I must have used more fabric to go over the tension rod then I planned). 

To extend it to cover the bottom of the shelf, I added on the orange ruffle. I had about three inches of the fabric and needed to cover two inches of space. I spent a half hour trying to make my rolled edge attachment work before folding and ironing down the barest of hemmed edges. The I did a zig-zag stitch for the top of the ruffle and attached it to the rest of the curtain. I used french seams on the rest of the curtain so it doesn't match on the back. It bothers me a little, but who is going to see that besides me.

I also made a curtain to hide my sewing room without needing to close the door. I think it is a rayon crepe fabric also from my stash with a cotton pullback. This also helps keep the heat in the salon as my basement tends to be chilly.
