I made some cute little curtains for my bf's bathroom and I'd only had my sewing machine for like, 2 days. LOL
All I did was cut out two pieces of material the size I wanted the curtains, plus 4 inches at the top to fold over (to insert the rod) (heh, dirty!) and then I hemmed them up about half an inch on the sides and bottom. At the top, I measured the width of the rod (dirty again!) and did two sets of stitches, one on the bottom and one on the top to make it easy to insert.
He just had a tension rod in his bathroom, so it was super easy to do. Oh, and I did a little balloon valance at the top.
