Curtains

I have been trying to help out the kids teachers, it is always nice to have a good relationship with the teachers and helping out with classroom stuff is a great way to get to know them.  I typically can't volunteer in the classroom because I always have to take Scout with me.  I can help them with classroom sewing projects. 

I made a curtain to cover a bookcase for Munchkin's teacher. They are 3 year olds and typically they are busy enough in the classroom they won't touch the things hidden from view.  The teacher had a piece of fabric taped in front of this to hide it.  Then she mounted a curtain rod and taped the curtain on the curtain rod, except the curtain rod kept getting bent by the door opening into it.   I wish I had a picture of it.
We solved all of this by making a new curtain and then using velcro to hold it into place.
I used some waistband interfacing I had in my stash to make the top piece and it worked perfectly.  It does not lay as flat as I would like, but it is a HUGE improvement.
