I made these curtains (in my new bathroom) from a duvet cover I bought in 1974. Just shows that if you keep something for long enough, it will come in useful!

Well, you moved it, so you must use it. "It's" now "they're" a perfect fit. I really like the way it looks.

Very pretty. My grandmother had a nice expression that translates as: who saves something has something. So as a obedient GD ... I have some of the M&S duvet covers I bought around the same time - indestructible. But not as nice as yours. Got one with a Union Jack on it. Has not been used since an English teacher at the local school was looking for a flag.

This one was quite well used, but it was only a double and we changed to king size.

They look great and best of all didn't cost you anything but thread. Hoarding or as I prefer to say repurposing is wonderful.

Perfect! Not hoarding, I like to call it collecting! It looks very pretty!

They look great! There is nothing wrong to holding on for the future and I'm sure you knew you had to make these when you bought the cover..

Is there no end to your creativity Sue? The curtains look beautiful and the colouring goes so well with the tiles. Great work using an old duvet cover

They turned out great! No one would know if you hadn't told! I like the way you accented the strips in the top and the loops!
