I was planning to sew kitchen curtains, but I wanted them not to be too simple. I thought of adding something more, a frill crossed my mind. I searched the internet and found a bunch of tutorials showing how to sew frilly pillowscases and one tutorial, which was really inspiring and helpful, i.e. http://simplygloria.com/how-to-sew-ruffled-kitchen-curtains/ I loved the effect and considered it easy enough to try. Intitially, I wanted to add two layers of frills, but after I did measurements, I found out I didn't have enough fabric. Anyway, even with only one frill I like the curtain a lot!
Zaczęłam od wycięcia prostokąta o takim wymiarze, jaka miała być zasłona, obszyłam wszystkie brzegi.
I started with cutting a ractangle of the size I wanted my curtian to be. I hemmed all edges.
Potem wycięłam paski szerokie na 5 cali. Długość pasków wynosiła 150% długości zasłony (zakładając, że zasłona ma 2 metry szerokości, pasek miał 3 metry).
Then, I cut stripes of 5″ inches wide. The lenght of the stripes was 150% of the curtain lenght (assuming the curtain is 2 meters wide, the strip was 3 meters long).
Jeden brzeg paska obszyłam...
I hemmed one edge of the strip...
...a drugi zakończyłam zyg-zakiem.
...and zigzagged the other.
Pasek marszczyłam przyszywając go do dolnej krwawędzi zasłonki.
Then I scrunched up the strip as I was sewing it onto the bottom of the curtain.
Na sam koniec przyszyłam cieniutki pasek tkaniny, żeby zakryć miejsce przyszycia falbanki.
The very last step was to sew a narrow strip just to cover the stiches.
Z efektu jestem zdecydowanie zadowolona :)
I really like the curtain! :)
Dobrawa, absolutely gorgeous! I love your fabric... so very bright and pretty! Thank you for the sharing the link love... so happy you loved my tutorial. I also feel so enlightened it inspired you to make this gorgeous creation! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! If I'd had more fabric I would definitively have sewn more ruffles :) I think your curtain is just so cute and adorable, because you matched different fabrics so well (not to mention that the more ruffles the nicer it looks :)) ! But I will also try to sew another curtain using more than just one fabric. Thank you for the tutorial. I absolutely loved it!
