So I got tired of looking at our cleaning supplies and bought a rod and some material to make curtains. Now, here is where I need some help. I am thinking of making 2 panels - how wide do I make them?(How much room do I leave for folds?) The cloth is 60 inches wide and the area is a few inches wider. And how long should I make them? So that they hang below the back of the washing machine? Or just to the top of the dryer? Last question: tab top? Or try and find a grommet maker and use rings?So, for last post's fruit: it was a chirimoya. Supposedly they grow here in SD and I couldn't resist getting one to try at the farmer's market, although it was 3 buckaroos. The seller claimed they grow in Brazil and you can buy the juice from street venders. It is in the same genus as mom's pinha (sometimes called sugar-apple). I am waiting for it to ripen. Congratulations to justjenn for winning that contest - I will have to come up with a prize!

This is an old post, and you have probably resolved the issue but here are my answers:
The curtains should be 1.5 times as wide as the area, or 90+ inches in width. I would make them to go below the dryer, and I would have used a grommet kit, which you can get from a fabric store.
