Step-by-step instruction for making Roman curtains
Roman blinds without laths
Roman curtains without the use of racks - it'sthe very first version of these curtains. In this case, you need two beams, the upper and lower, cords and, most importantly, a double curtain. Do everything as described above, but instead of the sections sew the rings. The most extreme - 4 cm from the edge of the sidewall. Then you can experiment. You can sew one ring in the middle. Sew the cords in a known way. If you need more rings, calculate the distance between the cornice and the cords. You will only have to sew a tape, Velcro, and the curtain is ready. How to sew a curtain using a decorative edge You can decorate a curtain made with your own hands with edging. Make it curly or straight, but strengthen with a dublerin or non-woven fabric. Sew a curtain over the lining. From the duplicating fabric, cut the piece along the finished edging and glue it to the front surface from the wrong side on the bottom. Do not forget to leave room for allowances. Then top the fabric and lining with a bag, iron, cut corners, fillets are incised. Turn out, once again iron. At the top of the decorative edge, attach a cloth 3 cm wide (kulisk under the bar). Do not put one side on the side. Make markings as usual, but take the distance from the kuliska to the top. Make the edge more than half of the section, otherwise it will simply not be visible.
How to sew Roman curtains with your own hands
You can do without the use of braid, and makedecorative protectors on the front or on the underside and insert racks in them. In this case, face protectors will become a decoration for curtains, and purl prints will make folds ideal. Before cutting, calculate the number of sections, multiply the result by 1.5 and add up to 15 cm left on the height allowance. In this case, take a single tissue. Blind in almost finished form (bent top and bottom) is marked, it is taken away 3 cm of the kulisks and the width of the sections is calculated. To mark it is necessary from below, from the kuliska, draw the section line, then 1.5 cm of the guard, again the section, 1.5 cm - the guard, and so on. Lines on the fabric are made from the side where you will have the defenses. Fold them in half, pin with a pin and sew. Treat the finished curtain with an iron and sew a velcro tape. 
How to fix possible errors
If the sides of the curtains are warped, you have not checkedthe fabric is skewed. But even if there was no skewing in the fabric, it is extremely important to use a ruler when cutting and observe right angles. If the side seams have shrunk, sewing was poor, check the thread tension in the sewing machine. Another reason can be too careful ironing the seams. Fabric in these places can sit down under the influence of high temperature. The transverse tape was pulled together because you did not attach it with pins or processed it with an iron before sewing. Always do this in advance, since the braid is made of synthetic fibers and, when processed further, the iron inevitably sits. Ribbed sides arise if the material is stretched under the tape. In such cases, you should rasporot and do all the work again. The lining of the double curtains stretched, and the front side covered with bubbles. Note that the lining is made of synthetics, and before sewing it must necessarily be treated with a hot iron. The front part, on the contrary, is often made of natural material. Before cutting, do not be lazy, soak the cloth in hot water. There will be a necessary shrinkage, and such troubles will not arise.
