would you please share tips for sewing a shower curtain?

We recently added a bathroom to our home on the second floor below the slanting roof line.  We need a custom shower curtain that follows the slant. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.  thanks.

I am a little confused... the shower curtain wouldn't be able to stay closed on a slant because it would always fall down the curtain rod.

You can attached the slant of the fabric by hooks and grommets along the slant and use tie-backs to keep it open when you need to.

My aunt's old house had this same type of tub and my nana made the curtain for them.  There was some extra piece of hardware that kept the top hooks from sliding all the way down...I wonder if I have a picture somewhere...I will look around and see if I can find one.  I actually lived in this house for a while and rented it from her and posted a roommate ad at one point so I MUST have something...

yes you are right without the hardware the curtain would slide down slant.  the hubs bent pipe to follow the angle and there is a place to secure the curtain from sliding down.  right now we have a 72x84 plastic curtain.  it looks like poop and need to sew something.

actually, what has me perplexed is how to attach them to the rings.  do i use the button hole option on machine? should use rings with claws?

I think the buttonhole is a great option.  You just need to remember to sew the buttonhole on the straight gain and not parallel to the angled top edge.  Obviously the holes need to be spaced the same distance from the upper edge, you just need to keep each buttonhole on grain or the whole thing will hang wonky.

Definitely button hole!  Use a cheap plastic liner as a template for spacing.  I cannot wait to see pics of this!
