Looking for half-width shower curtains

Looking for (roughly) 36" wide shower curtains for custom showers (tiled, not pre-fab); can't find them anywhere. Does anybody make these? Only other thing I can think is to get some custom-made or altered, and I'd rather avoid the hassle & expense.

I'm allergic to any sort of sewing/repairs but I think it would be very easy to cut an ordinary shower curtain to size and leave it unhemmed?

If it needs hemming you could use something like Wundaweb that just needs an iron.

I should think you'd get a much wider choice of colours, fabrics in the normal wdith too.

This place looks to have them. I found this by googling shower stall curtains.

Target and Bed, Bath & Beyond definitely sell them, especially around back-to-school time.

Additionally, there's really no major need for a half size curtain. Due to the nature of curtain rods, you can totally put a full size shower curtain on a half-size shower curtain rod, and it will still work and look ok (this is what we did in college). Additionally, you can double-up the shower curtain by folding it in half, and lining up the ring-holes.

For one of our showers of similar dimensions, I just folded a regular curtain in half, lining up the extra holes, so the curtain is now double-thickness. Works fine.

I second the scissors/fold idea.

I have to admit that I never thought to simply fold a full-length curtain over. It really looks great! Thanks!!
