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.

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!!

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.
