First, we will determine for which room we will sew them. Curtains in the hall will differ, for example, from kitchen curtains. Today we will tell you how to sew curtains yourself.
We sew curtains correctly: where to start?
Any tailoring begins with the correct conductmeasurements. For this, we measure the width and height of the future curtain and cut it evenly, the edges are leveled. If the measurements are at least slightly different, further unevenness can spoil the whole picture.
The edges of the curtains are machined with oblique bake, in a hem or with a role seam. Decide for yourself, which way is more convenient for you.
To sew curtains with your own hands, just havea good sewing machine is not enough. A certain skill is required to carry out the work. To process the edge of the role seams do not require special efforts. But the edge "in the hem" or oblique bye perform, without having experience, is difficult.
