• The distance of the product between the side hem is measured. The resulting value is divided into an even number of sections. The width of the elements will also depend on the width: the wider the sections, the larger the teeth will be.
• The boundaries of the sections are marked with points along the pencil line of the outer hem.
• When decorating a scalloped frill on the top of the curtain, the number of teeth should be a multiple of the number of loops or rings used to attach the curtain to the cornice.

The bedroom is a very important place in the house. It is there that we come after a hard day's work to enjoy a relaxing holiday and surrender to Morpheus. That is why it should be aesthetically pleasing, cozy and comfortable. Curtains provide not only protection from daylight, but also help to emphasize this effect. But choose curtains that fit perfectly into the overall design solution sometimes it is very difficult, and the prices for them sometimes "bite". Therefore, the idea of ​​sewing curtains for a bedroom with your own hands is very attractive and more and more often comes to the mind of the fairer sex.

So where do you start sewing?

The main requirements for curtains in the bedroom are:

• their aesthetics,
• the right combination with the overall design of the room in all respects,
• the performance of the main function of the structure is an obstacle to the penetration of light.

Model Style Selection

The choice of curtain model directly depends on the design of your bedroom. Now bedrooms are very popular, decoration in classical style, with light shades of minimalism or modernism, simple, uncomplicated, cozy. Curtains should not "fall out of the general rhythm", so for this type you can take straight curtains. Most interiors can be fitted with curtains in Italian style, which can be fixed on the window opening, walls, ceiling. Curtains sewn in Roman or Japanese style will also look elegant and minimalistic.

AT modern world, with such a variety of fabrics, furniture and accessories, without being afraid to take risks, you can create real masterpieces at home.

Selection of materials

Choice suitable material is the key in this matter, we must take into account the fact that the curtains are intended not only for decorative purposes, but also to protect your abode from excess light and unnecessary attention, so they must be sewn from dense fabric. The color of the material should be calm, soft, it is best to stop at moderate and pastel colors or rich dark shades (as you can see in the photo). And, of course, they should help maintain a calm, cozy and comfortable atmosphere in the room, or even just please the eyes of the household.

For the final decision, we suggest that you take with you three or four options for your favorite fabrics in the form of shreds home, and with comparative analysis choose the most suitable one.

And one more little advice for those who sew for the first time: it is best to choose simple natural fabrics for the pattern - linen or thick cotton, it will be more difficult to work with “stretching” fabrics, uneven seams, not symmetrical folds, and so on.

Everything you need for a robot

Before buying all necessary materials it is worth deciding on a design model, material and sketching a sketch of the finished product on paper. For example, to estimate material consumption, you need to measure the size of the window and multiply the resulting number by a factor (K). K \u003d 1.5 - 3, where 1.5 - for barely noticeable folds, 3 - large luxurious folds.

To sew curtains in the bedroom, you must have at hand the following elements:

• sketch,
• dense, pre-selected, fabric;
• clips for hanging curtains;
• cornice and related fittings;
• threads,
• pins,
• scissors,
• measuring ruler,
• chalk or pencil
• sewing machine,
• iron.

Tailoring

Marking and cutting

Any process of sewing a product begins with measurements and the formation of a pattern, that is, cutting the fabric of the required length. To do this, you must first select the length of the curtains, then their height and width, then cut the fabric required sizes, but in order to insure yourself, you need to leave a margin of 15 cm wide and 30 cm long on both sides. The proverb “measure seven times, cut once” comes in very handy in this case, therefore, in order to avoid problems due to improper cut, it is worth taking measurements very carefully. In the studio, all the necessary markings are made on a special large table, which simplifies the task, but rarely does anyone have a very large table at home, so it is best to use a flat floor for such needs. Using a centimeter (or a meter wooden plank) and thin soap or chalk (for light fabrics, you can use a regular pencil), make and outline the markings on the canvas, then cut off the excess with scissors (photo attached).

Product stitching

In order to make the edges of the pattern more even, sewing better, and your robot more comfortable and confident, it is best to iron the edges of the fabric with an iron before sewing. Do not forget that when working with a sewing machine, you need to try to ensure that the edge of the fabric is always in your field of vision, this will contribute to a beautiful, even seam.

Sometimes a decorative ribbon is also used in the sewing process, it can be made from another piece of fabric. We cut off two strips of 15 cm in length and width with a margin of 2.5 cm, fold them in half lengthwise, sew.

Next, cut a strip 21 cm long, fold it in half along the length, stitch it and turn it inside out, then cut it into three parts 7 cm long. The raw edges of each strip are folded over and sewn to the curtain in the form of loops: two along the edges with an indent of 2.5 cm and one in the center. After that, a decorative tape passes through these loops and we sew its ends to the side edges of the curtains. Next comes the fixation of the drapery with the help of a grip, which is attached to the wall with hooks or Velcro.

Alternative

Not all of us can sew something, and even more so, not everyone has a sewing machine at home, and buying it just to sew curtains for the bedroom with your own hands is not the best solution. But do not deny yourself the pleasure, so the best alternative to all this is gluing - a process in which you can do without needles, threads and a sewing machine. To do this, you should buy a special adhesive tape in any store with sewing accessories. The tape is cut into pieces that correspond in size to the length and width of the curtains, fit into the seam and ironed. Before use, be sure to read the instructions.

Final stage

After all processes, finished curtains should be ironed with steam, Special attention give places with seams and hang them on cornices with loops that were attached to the walls or ceiling.

And, finally, if you want to create your own unique design, comfortable and cozy bedroom, then feel free to get down to business, and beautiful, and even more so self-sewn curtains will be an excellent addition to any design solution.

Every hostess wants to make her home cozy, and everyone understands that beautiful textiles should fit into the interior, regulate daylight and harmonize with other objects.

Where to begin?

The third step is to determine the color and texture of the fabric. The color of the material can be in tone with the rest of the textiles, walls, or, conversely, contrasting. It is important to remember the rules:

• the design usually does not use more than three primary colors;
• calm pastel colors are more acceptable in the bedroom;
• the color of the curtains should not be the same shade with the walls;
• a large pattern on the walls suggests plain curtains, and the monotonous decoration of the room will be decorated with colorful textiles.

But the best part about decorating a bedroom is that you can break the rules by following your own creative intuition. According to the texture, it is better to prefer an opaque fabric with 100% blackout or to sew with a lining. The choice of material is limited only by financial possibilities.

The bedroom will be decorated:

• silk;
• velvet;
• curtain fabric;
• polyester;
• atlas;
• cotton;
• batiste.

Of these types, it is more convenient to work with dense cotton. In the West, it is one of the most sought-after materials, along with other natural samples. The lining is best made of cotton with polyester.

Fourth, success in work depends not only on right choice fabric, but also on the tool used: a good sewing machine and sharp scissors will allow you to get a quality product and enjoy the sewing process.

We decorate the bedroom with curtains: simple and cozy

Whatever material is used, it is important to remember:royal curtains for bedroom are obtained not due to complicated structures with original titles, but with the correct calculation of the proportions of the main elements and a harmonious combination of colors. You can beautifully sew curtains in the bedroom by combining a model of rectangular parts and carefully following the instructions in the process. It is easier for novice decorators to resort to decorating a room by sewing simple curtains into the bedroom:

• tulle curtain - standard version;
• narrow curtains in the bedroom;
• short curtains.

Simple samples are cut on a piece of fabric, without the use of templates. The finished one does not hurt if you liked the model with draped details - lambrequins, flip-flops, swags, bells. However, when decorating a room, one should not forget that complex lush designs require troublesome maintenance: they collect dust, they need to be regularly removed, washed, ironed and hung again. It is recommended to choose complex bedroom samples if there is time, effort and desire for such procedures. Modern style life dictates its own rules - minimalism is practical and no less attractive. If you want simplicity and comfort, then we sew curtains in the bedroom beautifully and quickly.

You can beautifully make curtains in the bedroom in a few steps:

1. Calculate the required amount of fabric, taking into account the margin for shrinkage, pattern alignment, technological allowances.
2. Prepare the material - wash, dry, iron, so that after the first wash the product does not shrink and warp.
3. Sew curtains, observing the technology of tailoring and seam processing.
4. Supplement the freely hanging canvas with tiebacks, tassels, fringe (optional).
5. Decorate with fabric flowers (if the style of the room design involves their use).

To properly sew curtains for the bedroom, you must begin by measuring the cornice, its position, studying the method of attaching the canvas. These data will help to correctly calculate the required amount of fabric.

The length of the product is determined from the top point of the cornice rod to the floor, adding 10-15 cm to. Do-it-yourself short curtains for the bedroom should be 10-15 cm below the windowsill. Compliance with these proportions gives the room a harmonious look. For a battery that opens and spoils the overall impression, it is recommended to make a decorative screen.

When buying a curtain fabric, its possible shrinkage is taken into account, as well as the presence of a pattern, which requires more material to combine than in the case of a plain canvas. By purchasing a cut, the footage is increased by 10 - 15% compared to the length of the product.

The width of the curtain depends on the length of the cornice. To form beautiful folds, this value is multiplied by a factor of 1.5–4. The denser and more expensive the matter, the less assembly it requires. The size of the tulle fabric usually exceeds the length of the cornice by 2–4 times. On a transparent curtain without a pattern, many folds are appropriate, the larger the pattern on it, the less the fabric drapes.

To form gathers on curtains, there is a special drapery tape sewn from the inside to the upper edge of the fabric. Cords are stretched along its entire length, which must be pulled together, tied in a knot along the edges - uniform folds along the width of the canvas are provided. It is only important not to inadvertently sew the cords to the fabric.

Getting started with the sewing process

Choosing the right fabric, stretching and ironing it, preparing the tools, we get to work. We sew curtains in the bedroom using the following set of tools:

• sewing machine, set of needles;
• scissors;
• pins;
• centimeter, square;
• iron.

From the materials you need:

• selected cloth fabric;
• curtain tape;
• threads in tone;
• accessories as needed (hooks, rings, eyelets).

• Check out the bottom . The bottom is folded over with a margin for possible shrinkage of at least 5 cm and stitched. If the fibers fray a lot, you can pre-process the seam on or melt the edge.
• Process the top edge of the curtain . This is the most crucial stage in tailoring curtains for the bedroom. First, the top edge is visible. Secondly, the processing method will differ depending on the type of attachment to the eaves.

If the canvas is fastened with loops, and a mounting tape is sewn on the reverse side, then the upper edge is folded to the width of the tape plus 1.5–2 cm to cover it.

If eyelets are used - special rings inserted into holes cut into the fabric and sliding along the eaves, then the edge is folded 10 cm - along the width of the adhesive sealing tape, which provides rigidity to the fabric. Place an adhesive strip in the fold and iron. Mark places for eyelets at a distance of 15 - 20 cm from one another. The number of eyelets is necessarily odd, in which case the side edges of the curtains will be wrapped symmetrically. Cut holes with scissors and insert eyelets into them, clamping until a characteristic click.

Mounting on clothespins "crocodiles" or magnetic holders involves a neat bend and stitching of the seam, without complex options finishes. It is convenient to attach light tulle fabrics on magnets.

Often do-it-yourself bedroom curtains are made on the drawstring - a simple way in which the canvas is put on the bar without additional devices. To do this, the edge of the canvas is folded and stitched in such a way that the resulting drawstring is spacious enough for the curtains to move freely along the rod.

With the independent manufacture of beautiful products, the main advantage will be the lower price of curtains.
To start making them, you need:

• Find patterns and attractive designs. Each room of the apartment has its own version of their design and tailoring.
• The texture and color of the fabric should be chosen in accordance with the overall color of the interior of the room for which it is intended.
• Shape is taken into account and general form curtains (see), which can significantly affect the design of the room.

Tip: When choosing products, you need to take into account all the recommendations and use them rationally.

• You should not take a lot of bright colors, sew extra details to the curtains that will create additional volume.
• Bulky curtains look especially ugly in a small room. Here it is enough to come up with something unusual to distinguish them from the general interior of the room, but so that it is an addition to it.

Tip: For a kitchen, living room or bedroom that has classic interior, only curtains made in a classic style are suitable. Their popularity is the greatest and they are used more often than others.

What are classic curtains

There is no strict definition of curtains. These are most often straight curtains made from traditional fabrics with the addition of tulle fabric with light curtains, as shown in the photo.

This is the simplest model that any hostess can sew. In addition to the classic models of curtains, lambrequins are used to cover their upper part.
You can sew lambrequins different ways. Straight with pleats are one of the most popular types. Recently, lambrequins with an unusual lower part of the cut have gained popularity.

Tip: It is better to start tailoring curtains with lighter models, and then gradually move on to more complex designs that, at first glance, even seem impossible. It is especially important to choose the right fabric.

How to choose the material for sewing curtains

When choosing a fabric for sewing curtains, everyone thinks differently:

• Most often, textiles are taken with patterns, gold or dark green. The latter must be chosen so that it is combined with the color of the bedspread and the color scheme of the room where they will be used.
  If a beautiful fabric for curtains is selected, then the products will turn out to be excellent, it will be hard to take your eyes off them.
  If there are bright saturated colors and various ornaments, large patterns in the decor of the room, you need to take a plain, discreet fabric for curtains. With a calm interior of the room, and decorating the walls with inconspicuous patterns, you can use a fabric of bright color.
  In this case, beautiful and original curtains will perfectly complement the room and attract the attention of the entire decor of the room.
• Curtains made by yourself should not merge with the environment that surrounds them, which requires very careful consideration of this issue.
• You should not use satin or silk fabric for sewing curtains. It is better to use velvet, velor, cotton, linen, organza, jacquard and brocade, taking into account the curtain fabric.

How to make straight curtains

Direct products can diversify ideas with their own hands.
To many, this option seems not quite beautiful and even boring. But it is not so.
Direct elements can be constantly modified:

• With a specially sewn braid, you can collect the top of the curtains. The shape of the folds on the main fabric depends on its type.
  To select a braid, you need to look at the catalog of finished products to imagine how they will look with the selected part.
• First you need to determine which is better to take the finish on the curtains. It can be brushes, ruffles.
• Then selected additional elements decor.

• You can sew classic straight curtains yourself without a pattern. In this case, it is enough to take measurements from the window and, depending on its length and width, calculate the amount of fabric for sewing.

Tip: If the selected fabric has a pattern, you will need a little more of it so that the patterns look symmetrical on the window.

• When choosing a material, you need to remember about the seam allowances at the top and bottom of the fabric. Therefore, its length should be slightly larger than the dimensions of the window.

How to sew curtains

Instructions for sewing curtains includes:

• The amount of fabric needed is determined. For this, dimensions are taken from the cornice, by measuring its length, and the length of the product from the cornice to the floor is determined.
  When making long curtains, add another ten centimeters to this size. This will be the seam allowance for the top and bottom.
  The width is chosen depending on the taste of the owner of the room. For curtains with many folds, the length of the cornice is multiplied by three; for not too lush products, it is multiplied by two.
• If there is a large pattern on the fabric for curtains, it must be bought with a margin to match the pattern. Then the curtain will look like a solid canvas.

Tip: To get a solid pattern, you need to fold the canvases with the outer side to each other and sew.

• On the sides, the edges are folded inward twice: by 1 cm, then by 2 cm and sewn on a typewriter.
• The lower part is also folded inward twice: the first hem is 3 cm, the second 5 cm and is also sewn.
• The folded edges iron well.
• The top edge is processed as follows:

1. bends three centimeters inward;
2. from the side of the inside, a braid is pinned with pins;
3. one centimeter recedes from the top fold.

Tip: The braid must be purchased six centimeters longer than the width of the curtain in order to provide three centimeters of allowances on both sides.

• From the wrong side of the braid, the ends of the cords are pulled out and tied together. Then you need to tuck the left allowance of braid inward.
• The same is done with the second edge of the braid on the other side. But the ends of the cords are not tied. This is the outer edge.
• The braid is attached along its edges - upper and lower. The folded edges of the braid also need to be sewn.
• On the outer edge, the ends of the laces should not be sewn.
• After that, the folds of the curtain are formed. To do this, the curtain is pulled together with laces to the desired length, then the laces are tied.
• On the curtain braid there are loops. Hooks can be inserted into them at approximately the same distance between them. The number of hooks should correspond to the number of folds on the curtain.

Tip: When making curtains, you should not rush and sew the seams immediately on the typewriter, if you make a mistake, when steaming the seams, visible marks may remain on the fabric, which will not be very beautiful.

How to sew a curtain "with teeth"

Curtains decorated with cloves look great in the kitchen, bedroom and children's room.
For self-production you will need:

• Decorative fabric, pins, threads for sewing to match the fabric.
• Sewing machine.
• Scissors, pencil, ruler.
• Colorless nail polish.

Tip: Before starting work, you should find the right patterns for curtains for the bedroom with your own hands, which will facilitate further operations.

• A piece of fabric is taken, from which a jagged border will be sewn, according to the size of the curtain and its edges are processed.
• 1.3 cm recedes from the outer edge of the part, a hem line is outlined. For this, a ruler and a pencil are used.
• Similar lines are drawn along the sides of the part, at the same distance of 1.3 cm from the edge.
• The inner edge of the product is bent by 6 mm.
• The distance of the product between the side hem is measured. The resulting value is divided into an even number of sections. The width of the elements will also depend on the width: the wider the sections, the larger the teeth will be.
• The boundaries of the sections are marked with points along the pencil line of the outer hem.
• When decorating a scalloped frill on the top of the curtain, the number of teeth should be a multiple of the number of loops or rings used to attach the curtain to the cornice.
• Another line is applied to the part, parallel to the line of the outer hem. Between these lines there should be a distance equal to the height of the teeth, to decorate the frill.
• Points are placed for the teeth on the second line.
• Points located on opposite lines are connected, while not going beyond the intended boundaries.

• 1.3 cm of stock is added to the edges of the teeth applied to the fabric.
• A frill is attached to the curtain, for decorating with cloves, cuts are combined and chopped off with pins.
• When decorating the upper part of the curtain, its side allowances are doubled.
• Together with the edge of the curtain, a decorative detail is cut out with teeth, while the scissors move along the zigzag line previously marked with a pencil.
• The serrated edge of the frill is hemmed. All allowances are tucked and stitched, the seams are ironed.

Tip: To prevent the threads from unraveling, you need to carefully coat the figured section with a colorless nail polish and let it dry.

• The frill is ironed on the front side.
• The frill is again applied to the curtain, the details are chipped off with pins and attached.
• The serrated edges are sewn by hand.
• The curtain is finally stitched together.

A frill cut with cloves can decorate the curtain along the inner or upper edge. Beautifully selected curtains in the bedroom will decorate it and give more comfort.
