I would like to make my own shower curtain however I'm unclear as to what
type of fabric to use. The shower gets heavy use (at least 4 showers a day)
so it needs to be something durable, washable as well as functional.
Thanks for any info you may have .. this is my first posting to this group.

I should have added, I have an aversion to plastic/vinyl shower curtains, so
I would rather not line the fabric one w/ anything like that.

thanks,

Too bad about that. You can use a vinyl liner and make your curtain out of
anything you like. I've done patchwork shower curtains and others made out
of a whimsical fabric d'jour. But I did use the liner.

I use a shower proof poly taffeta, a bit like anorak fabric. Works
well. It isn't coated. It was sold as shower curtain fabric, and it is
a woven fabric, not a poly sheet.

If you aren't going to use a liner, you will need to select something
like a very tightly woven nylon, such as is used for windbreakers or
light-weight tents.
