Cheater lined curtains

My newly "lined" nursery curtains.  

I love lined curtains -- how thick and full they are, how much heavier they feel, how they filter the light better -- everything except the price tag that normally goes along with them and/or the extra work that goes into sewing them.  Not being one to spend money unnecessarily or sew where I can get by without, I've come up with cheater lined curtains.  Here's my very involved, super complicated tutorial.  Ready?

Buy $3 white twin flat sheets from WalMart.  Fold in sides and/or top to make slightly smaller than your curtain panels.  Use the clippy part of your ring clips to hang the sheet up behind the curtain panel.

For those not familiar with the correct, super fancy terminology, these are clippy rings.  

If you're unfortunate enough not to have clippy rings on all your curtains (like me) you may actually have to do some sewing.  I normally choose to do this by hand so the noise from my sewing machine doesn't distract from whatever re-run of The Office I have on at the time.  

I recently decided my nursery curtains were a little on the wimpy side and decided to "line" them.  I didn't use clippy rings on these curtains, (I used shower curtain rings, remember?) so I had to pull out my needle and thread and get to work while Jim and Dwight kept me company.  

Here's a close-up of the lined curtain.  I tacked the sheet along the underside of the hem on the back of the panel.  You can also see how  I attached the shower curtain rings.  I promise that despite the ghetto-ness of the materials used, the curtains do look somewhat decent.  (At least I think so!)

As an added bonus, here's a little something to help y'all get you through lining your curtains.  Enjoy!
