Well if you do decide to use a plastic liner, be sure it is PVC-free. I
hear that even Target is carrying them now. We use a nylon liner since
it is more mold resistant and dries very quickly.

I've made shower curtains from lots of fabrics including rayon.
Usually, I use the buttonhole method (for shower hooks) but I have also
used 2" wide tabs that I just loop over the shower rod and snap, velcro
or button on the other side. I have this one shower curtain I made 30
years ago and every time I look at it I wonder, "What was I thinking?"
The fabric is so pretty I should have made a dress out of it!

Thank you! I've got a lot of good ideas and have copies and pasted
them to go over later.

I use two rods one for a nylon or plastic liner and another for the outer
curtain that compliments the decor.......Rollie

-------------------------------------

I used the buttonhole method, too. Then I purchase decoratve shower hooks
that more than cover the holes. Good luck with your project!

When I tried the url it could not be found. But if you take out one of the
"www" s, it does work.
