Well I'm at a loss of what to do with my kitchen window.
Our theme is Cats and Coffee :lol
And I can't think of what kind of style curtains I should use.
I'm making them by the way.
If you guys know of any good books
I'd love that

Are you wanting to a topper, cafe' style, or something you can open during the day (full curtains)? Oh, here is some fabric that I found on ebay...

I already have the fabric

I just want to know styles
I like Cafe Style
but I want to try a No Sewing Curtain
To give something different a try

:arg DOH...Ok..what about a cafe rod, and some of those little gold clips? You could line the edges of your fabric with a color coordinated ribbon to hide the seams. Use some fabric glue for a no sew curtain.

I got clips like that from the BX and they were way cheaper there than at WalMart or Target ($2.99 vs. 7.99!). I got the brushed silver/pewter color...

You could use Stichwichery (not sure on the spelling) to fuse the fabric and ribbon together, it's very easy to do!
