If the tub is porcelain over iron or steel, the weights can be magnets,
which holds the curtain in place and prevents it from accidentally
billowing out over the edge of the tub.

When using a sheet, I like to use the top edge for the top of the shower
curtain. You can buy buckram (a 3" or 4" wide stiffener used in drapes,
etc.), and it will usually fit right in the wide, top hem. This gives the
top of the curtain a nice, crisp look, and serves as reinforcement for the
buttonholes, or grommets. I usually lay a plastic liner out on the fabric
and mark the holes in the same places (no calculating or measuring
required). Also, I like to make my shower curtains extra long, so they hang
within a couple inches of the floor.
