All I need to get is one edge of a 20x30 piece of fabric sewed over into a loop (for a curtain rod) to make a small curtain for the window in my front door. Would one of those craft stores do that? Its really just like one line of sewing.

I am sick of my landlord peeking in my front door window, the current curtain is this see-thru doily shit that was there when I moved in :bloated:

Blacktrashbags and duct tape will keep the fucker out.

Or aluminum foil on one side, and white paper on the other.

go to work and find a group of older broads congregating. Ask them where to have it done, invariably one will offer to do it for you… Great success!

Other option would be hanging a Burger King king mask behind the current curtain staring out at them.

I’ll try the drycleaner, that would be perfect :tspry:

The girlfriend recommends hem tape. No sewing involved. Get it at any fabric or craft store.

Sew it yourself, it’s not hard.

or as butch suggested go into Jo-Anns, or Walmart and get some hem tape, that only takes an iron.

I think I’m going with the tape. I tried sewing something before and I suck at it, and I’m a perfectionist, so I don’t think sewing myself it would have a good outcome.
