I never, ever, ever use a tub but hubby would like to have one to soak in some nights after physical labor. Maybe someday we can redo the bathroom. It's actually a possibility now that I have my big, heavy duty washer out in the garage/shop area. We have a stackable washer and dryer in the bathroom (I still use the dryer in there) that could come out and make room for a tub/shower.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-41343169973347998812013-12-11T11:03:03.381-06:002013-12-11T11:03:03.381-06:00The Weekend Homesteader - Thank you, thank you, th...The Weekend Homesteader - Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I used Thermore and even that made the curtain too heavy. Now I just sandwich the top with muslin for the backing (no batting at all) and quilt the two together. I was afraid it might not hang well, but that's not a problem at all. Yes, I make very small buttonholes to receive the rings on the shower rod.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-90798723808175544942013-12-11T10:58:09.326-06:002013-12-11T10:58:09.326-06:00Leigh - I'm betting your bedroom is getting cl...Leigh - I'm betting your bedroom is getting close to completion.
