Making Curtains

I've been so lazy about curtains. There are tons of free curtain designs online but I never made curtains when we lived in an apartment (for over 4 years).

Now, We've been in our new home since April of this year. And have I looked for curtain patterns yet? Well, I have looked but that's not the same as actually making the curtains.

My husband put shades up when we first moved in. But I know curtains will give the house a more "homey" feel. So I'm looking a simple design that I will actually make.

I found very clear instructions in this free curtain design. And this page gives step by step instructions with photos for each step.

Now, what color fabric will I use for the kitchen windows? Choices, choices . . .
