"This is Vicki Walker for Expert Village. Today I'll be showing you how to make a tab top shower curtain. The fabric that I'll be using today is this turquoise and brown cotton fabric that I found at a local fabric store and I think it will be perfect for the little girl's bathroom that we'll be making it for. Other choices that you might want to consider when you're trying to determine what you'll be doing for your project, if you have a fancy, maybe a guest bathroom, you may want to think about using a luxurious animal print fabric or something like this. For a master bathroom or a child's bathroom also, you may want to think about using some sort of gingham like this. Just about any sort of fabric will work for a shower curtain. Something too heavy might not be a very good idea. It might be too weighty on the shower curtain rod, but a cotton would be a good idea. Sateen if you want something more decorative would be a good idea. Even a light weight denim would work. Those would be good choices for shower curtains and we'll show you just how to that in the next clips."
