Making curtains yourself
To make curtains at home, you won’t need many materials and tools:
- scissors;
- thread;
- needles;
- sewing machine;
- the chosen piece of fabric;
- some decorative accessories.
But first of all, you need to decide what model you want to make. According to the design, curtains for the hall are as follows:
The process of making a curtain.
In a word, curtain design knows no boundaries.Curtains for the hall can have not only symmetrical canvases, but also asymmetrical, rounded, in several tiers or rows, as well as lace, multi-colored, single-color, transparent, with various decorations (lambrequins, rhinestones, tassels, lurex, loops, embroidery and much more).

Curtain pattern.Before you start sewing curtains with your own hands, select the fabric and decoration for it. In order not to violate the style, designers recommend buying the material with a small reserve, since when creating a design, you need to make at least one detail from the main fabric. For example, for the bedroom, you can buy a bedspread of the same color, and decorate the hall with a small tablecloth. Of course, the simplest option is considered to be the classic, especially if you are a beginner in this business. Here you only need to calculate the footage, cut and process the edges. But this option can also be embellished. A lambrequin is perfect for this, which can have a straight shape, as well as a wavy one, with a fringe, serrated. The lambrequin is attached to the top of the product.
Processing of side cuts.If you want to simplify the task, then you can use ready-made loops that are sold in any specialized store. Of course, it is better to choose large sizes. Alternatively, you can use eyelets, but you need to buy the same tape for them, which is glued to the top edge of the curtain. Then on this tape you need to mark the places for the rings and carefully cut them out, then apply the eyelets on both sides and simply snap them. To somehow decorate the curtains for the hall, craftsmen use all sorts of clamps and fasteners, grabs that can be made independently from strips of fabric, ribbons, lacing, artificial flowers, glass beads, magnets and so on. Here you can use everything that can only come to your mind. You can even make fringe, flounces and tassels for the curtains of the hall with your own hands.

Roman blind pattern.Many people decorate their interiors with Roman curtains. They look quite beautiful and modern. To sew them, you need to cut out a rectangular piece of fabric that should cover the opening in size. The length of the fabric should correspond to the height from the floor to the cornice, plus a few cm for processing the upper and lower edges. The width of the fabric should exceed the width of the window opening by as many cm as you want to make folds. Having cut out the required size, you need to sew all the raw edges on a sewing machine. Next, lines are drawn on the back side of the fabric at the same distance from each other, which can be different. The generally accepted width of the fold should be 20 cm, but this is all conditional, because each person has the right to take a step at the distance they like. If you choose a width of 30 cm, then the lines are drawn every 60 cm. In these marked places, you need to sew pockets from a material such as tape. Either plastic or wooden slats are inserted into them for fixation. Pockets are also sewn at the bottom, into which weighting strips are inserted. In this case, you can use a thin metal rod. Velcro should be sewn horizontally at the top, because the edge of the curtain for the hall should wrap around the cornice, where it will be fixed with Velcro. Then, lines for the lifting cord are drawn at the bottom of the canvas, with the help of which the curtain will look even more elegant. Several small rings should be sewn to these lines for each lacing. Then the cord is fixed at the bottom and threaded through the rings. In order for this lacing to cling to something, it is necessary to hang a certain number of hooks along the cornice. The upper rings are thrown over the lacing and the cords are threaded through them horizontally so that they all come out strictly on one side. A clamp for the lifting device is placed on the wall. After that, the canvas is hung on the cornice and the cords are fixed. This completes the production of the Roman blind.
