is it easy to make your own curtains?

I have an idea in my head of what I want for my window treatment, but I'm not finding the perfect thing out there. I'm considering making my own window scarf out of fabric from the store. Has anyone done this ? Is it difficult? I am NOT a seamstress AT ALL!

I just did it yesterday. Let me get a pic for you. Keep in mind, they are soooo not like Snowboardgirl's!!!!!!!!! Chat Icon

I got the fabric at Walmart ($1.00 a yard-3 yards). I bought it as scrap fabric to play with but realized it is so close to the color of our shower curtain. They are a little too short. I did it all by eyeball and had more than enough length, but I got carried away with the part where the rod goes in and therefore they come up too short. Oh well! External Image External Image

if not super fancy yes it i easy b/c it's pretty much straight sewing. as mentioned here walmart has $1 fabric--great selection various types throughout each chain so you have a great selection.
