I had a similar experience with a wash bag and I covered exposed seams with bits of lining material which I folded like binding and sewed over the exposed bits. It was waterproof fabric as well and I thought it would be trickier than it actually was.

I'd be inclined to leave the triangles as they are but maybe hand-stitch them to the bottom lining so they don't flap.joanoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428621316534143954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4883191390566404911.post-81789998915063657002012-12-12T10:13:55.415+00:002012-12-12T10:13:55.415+00:00Love these.

The trouble with shower curtain fabric is it frays like fury, so even over stitching it will result in fraying over time (depending how much it is washed!!). These are brilliant, and suitably boyish!

Do the over stitching in the darker thread and then it will look intentional. The other thing that came to mind was boys don't bother about that kind of thing. It will be the tardis that catches his eye. It is your perfectionist gene coming to the fore! He is going to love it.
