    Default Plastic

    I have a window in my bathtub and I have made a half curtain out of hand towels but they seem to get moldy quickly and I have been washing them on a weekly basis. I have decided to just make a pair out of plastic. (not a big fan of this but if it saves the washing I am all for it) I have never stiched on plastic before and I am wondering if my thread should be a heavier weight? And as well, as should my needle be larger or smaller? Thanks.

    I used fishing line for my bathroom curtains-- sewed a plastic shower curtain that I cut to fit, -- made a casing for the top, to run the curtain rod through--- used regular sized needle.
