Flap curtains

All women know that the comfort in the house always create curtains. The interior of an apartment often depends on how exactly the curtains are lined up in it. Because curtains can create comfort, warmth, increase or decrease the space and height of the room. You can paste a faceless wallpaper, but by hanging the correct curtains and a lambrequin, the room will look fashionable, rich. Every housewife has old curtains, which it is a pity to throw out and they lie unclaimed for years. I suggest using old curtains in order to make a pelmet out of them. Take two types of curtains of different colors, better than plain. I took two kinds of blue and coffee. We will also need threads of the same two colors and a lining for the main material. My curtains are made of thin silk, and if they were sewn without a liner, then when they were hung on a window they would curl and lose their shape. For lining, you can use the old sheet, I had a new white sheet unused from the old days. Three types of squares are cut out of paper, let's say 20x20, 16x16, 12x12. Well, it's up to you. We spread the old curtains and cut out an equal number of all kinds of squares from two colors.
We also do it from the backing material.
The number of squares depends on the length of your window, you can draw a lambrequin on paper almost immediately and calculate the amount you need. I personally cut myself again, if I did not have enough when stitching them. After cutting, you need to lay the foundation on the squares.
Chipped with safety pins sits at the sewing machine. I sewed the largest zigzag function, marking slits for a button, 0.5 mm.
Each square was sewn around the contour of the opposite color with threads, creating a contrast.
Coffee squares with blue thread, blue squares with coffee thread.
Then she carefully cut the excess around the contour. After processing and trimming the squares, I put chains on them on the floor, making them as I liked. I tried to put it simply with a small square, it turned out simply and not very original, then I put it with the angle up, and it became much more interesting to look. I sewed it on a typewriter in the same functions, first chains in length.
Only then did the chains interlock with each other.
All the pelmet is ready!
Hanged and my husband and I really liked it. The advantage of such a pelmet is great! Browse Otto's catalogs. In the West, they love things and decorations for home and apartment in this style. The advantage of such a pelmet is obvious! Firstly, everyone has old curtains, old sheets too. So, you do not have to spend money to buy all this. Secondly, every housewife always has threads, especially since they do not need to be selected by color. The more contrast the threads turn out to be, the more beautiful they will look on the squares. So you also will not have to spend money on the purchase of threads. Lambrequin, made by yourself, is unique, which means that you will not meet such a friend from any of your friends. A big plus is that when the lambrequin hangs on the window and the sun falls through the holes between the squares, this creates a very beautiful darkened solar effect in the room. Sew and enjoy your crafts!
