Questions & AnswersThis is Vicki Walker for Expert Village. We're working on our tab top shower curtain and we've finished sewing the rickrack on the top of the curtain and we've got the hem at the top and the bottom and we're ready to work on the tab tops that will go on top of the curtain that the curtain rod will go through. I've got these pieces of fabric that are already cut. They are seven and a half inches long and I'm going to cut them to four and a half inches wide. That will give me all the width that I need for each one of the tabs. We need nine tabs for the top of the curtain a piece. So nine tabs is what I need to make. There are four. I'll use one of these as a guide to cut the next section. Right here. And this is on the fold so I'll cut it right here. We only need one more to make nine. And we'll cut right here and next we'll go to the ironing board so we can press these over. I'll be pressing them over like this so that we can turn them and make the tabs that will go across the top. Nine of them across the top of the shower curtain.
