Oh I wish I were closer, I could probably show you what's up with the machine. (Or at least determine it's not user error.8-) )
The pre-made curtains tend to be pricey (or at least the ones I've seen are, though really, everything at Pottery Barn is pricey.) and I'm cheap!
But measure the height from the top of the inside of the top rail to where you want the hem to fall and if that's sixty inches, the selvege can be your hem and you can staple the curtain to the bed. See? No sewing at all! (too much stagework in me, I fear)
I'm thinking he'll outgrow Pooh Bear before he outgrows the bed (says the woman who finally painted over her son's nursery mural now that the "baby" is almost six) so yeah, I wouldn't go Pooh.
What does he want? Cars? Batman? Fish? Fish would be fun. There are shower curtains with tropical fish and the cling stick wallpaper cutouts. All you have to do is line 'em up.
