We just moved to a new city for a 3-year job assignment. We are living in a rental house and it has the ugliest curtains ever. I could easily switch them out since the bar is there, but the ready-made panels I've found aren't as long or wide as I would like. And of course I'm not paying for custom-made curtains for a rental house.
How hard would it be to teach myself to sew and make some simple curtain panels? I've never sewn before but I've always wanted to learn, and I'm fairly crafty and pretty good at knitting and crocheting.
If this is doable, how much should I plan to spend on a sewing machine? I'd like to keep it inexpensive since I don't even know if I will take to sewing, but are there any particular features I will definitely need?
Feel free to tell me I am BU. Am I?
