There is a large bay kitchen in our kitchen floods the room with light. It provides a wonderful view of the backyard and all my little people as they dig holes to China. 😉 It is also the perfect place to add another layer of pattern and color to our kitchen update.

Before I begin this tutorial for No Sew Kitchen Curtains I’ve got to let everyone know that I am not a sewer. Or a very good measurer for that matter. But I can steam a mean fusible tape hem like nobody’s business.

So keep an open mind as you read through this post and hopefully you will be inspired to make curtains for your home!

As usual, Target was the inspiration for the whole project. This Threshold tablecloth has a lovely floral and leaves pattern that ties in all the colors of the kitchen. Plus there’s a touch of red which is my favorite color.

Gather all your supplies. Honey’s level and our yard stick work great as a tape measure. 😉

Curtains gracefully puddling on the floor didn’t sound like a grand idea for my all the time sometimes messy kitchen. I wanted the curtain panels to fall below the bottom on the windows but not near the floor so I began the process by trimming 10″ off the longest side leaving me with a 60″ x 74″ rectangle.

Next the large 60″x74″ rectangle was cut into three 20″x74″ panels.  Each cut edge was hemmed with fusible tape. I tried to make the hem width the same as the original tablecloths hem so it was about one inch wide.

The final and fourth 60″x74″ panel was cut from the second table cloth. Don’t worry about the leftovers, I’ve got great plans for that!

Since red is my favorite color I couldn’t resist adding a 12″x20″ rectangle of chevron to the top the No Sew Curtains Kitchen Curtains. The two pieces are not joined together but simply held in place by a clip curtain ring.

    I need new curtains in our kitchen. I can’t sew to save my life, but this inspired me to think outside of the box and try some of that iron stitch stuff. Hmmmmmm, now you have me thinking.

      Tablecloths are the way to go! Lots of colorful fabric for not a lot of money. That’s so funny that you love the kitchen table! My children have done their best to destroy the top of it with markers, paint, and butter knives.

      Thanks so much for the bloggy love!

    Red is my favorite color, too and I love your no-sew curtains. I received a sewing machine last Christmas and I’ve yet to learn how to thread the bobbin!

    Awesome job! I love how these turned out. I have a very similar window in my kitchen and should definitely do something similar. Where did you get the curtain rod you used?

    I absolutely love your curtain panels. So smart and so thrifty. love to find table cloths on sale to use for whatever I need them to be. Glad you found what you wanted at Target. Haven’t looked there for sale tablecloths but sure will now if I can find anything as pretty as what you found. The red/white chevron valances really set off panels perfectly, thank heavens for those curtain clips huh? Love them.
    As I type I’m looking at curtain panels I made when we bought our home (8 yrs. ago) for our mudroom window. We have blinds and a shade on it also as in summer the heat pours in that window (facing due west) so both blinds and shade are closed and even curtain panels to keep it cooler in this room. Love making curtains with table cloths as there is less hemming. I have sewing machine but when it’s on vacation I use the stitch witchery stuff myself. I used two tablecloths as I wanted panels to be full.They’re white back ground with stripes of red/blue/yellow. Just had to make rod pockets. Get tired of them once in while but always go back to them after time. Think they might need a bath.
    Think next time we’re at Target and Walmart need to look for sale tablecloths. Love how happy and cheerful your curtains look. Your dining set is very nice. Enjoy what’s left of summer days
