We changed up our kitchen curtains this weekend. I think I was a little bored with the plain white.
I ordered these pretty tablecloths from Target.com. By the time they arrived, I had almost forgotten that I had ordered them (don't you just love online shopping at 3am while up feeding a baby?) Dwell Studio has several super cute tablecloths available at Target - I used another print in our dining room a few months ago.
There is really not much to explain which is the beauty of using tablecloths. They were a little long and a little wide - so I just cut them down tot the size I wanted and used a stitch witchery to "hem" up the edge that I cut.
I did use my sewing machine for this little project so I could make a pocket on top for the rod to slide through. Just a simple straight line across the top.
Sorry about the flash in the pictures. I just cannot figure out how to take a picture facing into the window. Would love to hear any tips :)

Nice!
they look awesome! i love the splash of color they bring.
Love that! The birdies are so cute! :)
They look so pretty and such a nice touch of color with the birdies. I will be looking at tableclothes a lot differently now.
Oh, they are great! I'm seriously impressed at all the stuff you've been getting done with a brand new baby! When we decide to have kids, I'll have to look you up and get some tips on time management or something. :)
Genius idea to use tablecloths for curtains- everythings already hemmed! I've been wanting to try making some pinch pleat curtains using the pleat tape (whatever you call it) and this would be a perfect way to practice!
Have a good week!
So cute and what a great idea to use tablecloths! Great job!

Your tablecloth curtains look fabulous. I'm visiting from Cottage and Vine. I made some cafe curtains for our kitchen with some longer ones I cut up. They were from Target,too. I used fabric glue to make the hems. I don't know what would happen if I washed them. I guess I'd have to reglue them.
Amazing! Tablecloths do wonders. I wish I could figure out how to make one into shower curtain too!
Loving that pattern and the colors. What great curtains!
Great job! You are right Target does have some awesome patterns. Thank you forvthe great idea. My dining room needs help and this would work wonderfully.
New follower! Have a blessed day

I just love these! I have been looking for this pattern! If you ever want to sell them let me know! :)
I'm coming here from a pinterest link...can you tell me where you got the curtain rod? I'm assuming it's all one piece for all three windows?
the curtain rod is actually three spraypainted pieces of PVC pipe that we put together using two pipe connectors from Lowes or Home Depot. Super cheap and easy - it was much less expensive than buying a bay window rod. here is the link http://christopherandanne.blogspot.com/2010/08/kitchen-projects.html
