A shower curtain is an easy item to sew; it's just big! You can make one in just a few hours and give your bathroom a whole new look. We made this one from a couple of our favorite prints in Patty Young's Flora & Fauna collection. When you select fabrics, look for something that will blend nicely at the seams, such as the all-over pattern of the Humming Birds fabric we used. Or, if you're a bit more advanced, go for something you can pattern-match, a stripe for instance. You'll notice there are great little sewing techniques here that will apply to all kinds of projects, including several different seam and hem finishing options.

Monogrammed towels lend a lush and elegant accent to any bathroom. And they make fabulous gifts for newlyweds or an anniversary. The only problem is they're often far too pretty to actually use. I've gotten past this problem by pretending my bathroom is really part of a luxury suite at a five-star resort. This image is usually shattered when my teenage son wanders through the door in his boxers looking for toothpaste. If monogrammed towels keep me close to my dream ... I'm usin' 'em!

 Plain towels are just so... plain. Here's how to take a towel set purchased at a discount store and with some simple sewing give it a spendy designer look. Now your towels can be part of a new look for your bathroom. Once you've made a set for your bathroom, make a set as a distinctive gift for someone else.

If you don't have $10,000 to tear out your ugly tub/shower combo, you can hide it very nicely behind a fabric shower curtain. This simple curtain was made from a classic toile fabric to coordinate with other items in the bathroom. It was designed to be extra tall to hide the tub from the floor on up. Simply hang your plastic shower liner behind it, sharing the same clips. You really can transform your whole bathroom with a couple of yards of fabric.

 It just doesn't get any easier than this. Purchase a plain towel, then add your own decorative ribbon or ribbons.
