So, what to do about shower curtains?
One thing I like to do when I see houses in my neighborhood that are for sale is to look inside and see if I can get any good ideas. Many of them have the same bathtub design, but I've never seen them with shower curtains. They all have the L-shaped curtain rod. And most of them have some extra support, like a string holding the corner up at the ceiling.
We put a standard shower curtain and and shower curtain liner on the long side. Then we cut a shower curtain liner in half for the short side.
But recently, I decided I wanted to switch from plastic curtain liners to nylon ones, which I've read can better resist mildew. But you can't just cut them in half, they'd unravel:
So, I hemmed the side. I folded the fabric over twice and took tiny stitches:
Normal people would use a sewing machine. But I did this in front of the TV, so it took a while, but didn't use up much time that I wasn't already wasting anyway.
At the top there was some extra stiffening thing that didn't fold well, so I cut a little extra off before finishing the hem.
