I cannot thank you enough for this informative piece. I have gone through 5 different home sewing books and not one mentioned options such as these. I have a dilemma in that I bought a house where a second full bathroom was added for the master bedroom. The problem is that where the shower/tub was placed is where the ceiling goes down into a slant. Apparently they added the bathroom to an area where an eave of the house is. Anyway, the curtain rod, which was custom made, starts off straight for 30″ then goes on a downward slant for 36″. There was a custom made shower curtain there before that looks like it seen better days. I tried to replace it with just an ordinary shower curtain that was not wide enough so I purchased two and put them together but that didn’t work either because it buckled in on the downward slanted side, leaving the whole middle open. Using the old shower curtain as a pattern I purchased fabric and made my own. I was looking for alternatives to holes for rings or clips and love the idea of ties. I think I might be able to stop the buckling issue by doing that because I might have more control in keeping the fabric straight. It doesn’t matter to me if it is stationary on the downward side as long as it stays in place. Keeping my fingers crossed that this will finally work. Thank you again for giving me some great ideas.

Thank you for everything, Shari.
I wish I had waited to redo the bathroom “softscapes”.
A few years ago before retirement, I lacked time.
So I ordered custom-made. There was a miscommunication regarding the term “shower” curtain and “bathtub” curtain! You brought up the size issue for a nice flow.
The matching Roman shade is exquisite, though.
The room is duochromatic so I chose white in my Cottage theme fabric: Matelassé, with a waterproof fabric liner. The room is dreamy…but expensive.

I just use ready-made curtains since shower curtains are skimpy. I like a diaphanous look, at the moment!

I liked the first shower curtain if you used that paper that makes photos into iron-ons. I could put all my family photos on it, Then everybody would have something interesting to look at and not notice how small the bathroom is.
Thanks for all your help
