This is Vicki Walker for Expert Village. We are working now on preparing the sections of fabric to make the tabs for our curtain. I'm going to turn down and press 1 inch on this side all the way down. Then I would fold the other side and turn under a little edge to. But I like to make a 2 inch wide tab so I would turn down that much all the way down. Press. So that would give us a tab, that would be wide enough. That is going to give us a little contrast on top of the shower curtain. This would gives us enough edge to sew on to the curtain, enough room for the shower rod to go through. So I have 8 more of these to make. Let me get working on the next one. When we finish these, we would be back to the sewing machine and we would be sewing the seam right down in the middle of these so each tab would not come out. That is how we make the tabs to get them ready to sew onto our shower curtain.
