We sew curtains from a veil

So, how to sew curtains from a veil?

• First of all, take the dimensions off the window. If you want the curtains to be up to the floor, you need to throw another 20-30 cm in reserve to the resulting length.
• Spread your material face up. Align all edges.

Important! If you have fabric with a pattern and you sew two or more curtains, then make sure that the pattern on them matches.

• Sew the bottom of the curtain with a thin thread. Before starting this, you need to properly smooth the fabric and make sure that the edges are not wrinkled or curled. The fabric itself needs to be tucked twice and ironed well with a warm iron. Now it will be easy to hem the bottom edge with a sewing machine.
• If the side edges of the curtain need to be sewn, hem them in the same way.
• Sew the braid to the top edge of the curtain with hooks sewn on it or the rings with which it will be attached to the cornice.

Important! Experts recommend sewing on the tape 4-5 cm below the upper edge of the fabric. This allows you to get a frill that covers the mounting point of the curtain to the ledge.

Let's take a closer look at how to sew the ribbon:

• Prepare the right amount of tape - its length should be slightly larger than the width of the curtain.
• Fold down the upper edge of the material to the size of the braid, iron the resulting bend with a warm iron.
• Step 5-10 mm from the upper bend of the material, secure the tape with the pins on the wrong side and attach the lower edge of the tape.
• Sew the top edge of the tape, then the bottom.
• Tuck the right and left edges of the tape with the fabric 5-10 mm and sew.

Important! Act carefully so as not to sew the threads for tightening, we need their ends free.

• Pull the threads to create pleats and tie them around the edges to knots.

Important! The veil is a very thin fabric, so you need to pick up the needles and threads of the desired thickness so that the stitches do not pull the fabric together.

To make the curtains seem light and airy, the resulting folds need to be spread evenly along the entire length. Such a tulle from a veil with your own hands will enliven your interior, bring a touch of lightness to your home.
