When we decide to embellish our house, one of the first things that come to mind is a curtain. There are several types of curtains on the market. Lots of fabrics, colors, designs and styles to choose from. But sometimes, regardless of the wide variety available, we simply find CanÂ't This weÂ're looking for, and often times when we do, we CanÂ't afford.
The truth is, you donÂ't need anyone to do it for you, you are as capable as it takes to do it yourself! Leta's see how we can become designers of our own space using the basic techniques of sewing.
Leta start with the most prominent material. Tissue. Choose a fabric you like. Avoid fabrics Quilted, because they can stretch or shrink over time. Fibers like cotton and flax and especially those with polyester and micro fiber, the better resistant than others. Also avoid silk or silk blends, because they tend to rot and fade very quickly. Make sure you buy tissue enough, you donÂ't want your curtains to look poor. Double window height and three times width, should be good.
In this section, we consider the simple sewing and hanging of three techniques for curtains.
For curtains with rings, you need to stitch an approximately 3-inch hem on the edge of the curtain panels that will be hanged. Now, sew each ring to each curtain panel leaving small distances between the rings so that the curtain is pulled easily. You can also use the clip-rings that donÂ't need to be stitched and are easier to apply.
For linked tab curtains you will need to create the hangers. Simply stitch horizontal buttonholes at the top panel curtain. Now you can make the lines the same fabric as the curtains, or other tissue, but adapted to a little diversity. Make son and place through the buttonholes.
No Sew Curtains are also an intelligent and easy to make curtains and decorate a window. In this case the fabric should be 3 inches more than double the window height and 2 inches more than the width of the window. Pull the fabric through the rod and fold evenly. Now assemble the two pieces of fabric in the back and sides together. When the curtain is ready, place a single fabric band in the center of the curtain or use two purchased tiebacks evenly spaced along the width of your window. Then adjust folds of fabric panel as desired.
Gather your supplies, fabric, scissors, screws, rings or ribbon, and use your imagination. In less than an hour, you will manage to decorate that empty window effectively and inexpensively. But what matters more is that you have your personal work to show in your home.
