Curtains for the Kitchen

Model No. 1
In this entry, we will talk about how to make a beautiful curtain for our kitchen, and that for
supposedly matches with her.
In my case, I want to share that I made a curtain at my house like the one I showed in the photo, it is very
simple and use the same fabrics to make blender covers, coffee makers, cloths, etc. In this post, I will
explain how to take the measurements and how to make them yourselves.
The first thing we need to do is measure the kitchen window, length by width, to estimate how much fabric.
we will need.
This curtain model consists of 2 peaks that protrude from the sides of the window and a small tab.
superior central as we can see in the photo and in the reference pattern that I made for you below.

According to the diagram I made, this curtain consists of 3 pieces: the two side peaks and a central tab.
Now, if your window measures 1m high by 1m wide, it is advisable to make the curtain double or one
a little more than the width of the window (so that it fits nicely), for which this measurement the
we must divide by 3. That is, (1m wide window * 2 (double the measurement)) / 3 parts = 0.66 cm we can
Approximate to 0.83 cm to result in 2.5 m (0.83 + 0.83 + 0.83 = 2.5 m). That is, we will give 1.5 m.
to gather the curtain.
To trim the spikes, we must measure how far the spikes will reach, whether it is to the lower edge of
the window or a little more. Let's say we'll make it up to a meter long, then we cut the peaks of
0.83 cm x (1 m + 9 cm) each. The additional 9 cm are to make a hem for putting in the
curtain rod at the top.
To cut the central fabric, we need to measure up to the height we want the flap, let's say 35.
cm, additionally to this measurement we must include about 9 cm to then make a small hem where
we will pass the curtain rod. Then we cut the fabric to (35cm + 9cm) x 0.83cm. Then we proceed to join
each piece. They must take into account the height of their curtain rod because it is from there that they must measure the
height of the central cloth, often the curtain rods are located about 10 cm above the top edge
from your window, so this measurement should be added to the previously calculated one, that is, 35 cm + 9 cm + 10 cm.
In the end, we make small rolled curls of about 10 cm or to your liking all around as I indicate.
in the diagram......and that's it.
This kitchen curtain model can be made by combining solid fabrics with printed ones.
As I show in the picture, we can make amazing combinations related to our kitchen in colors or details that
we like them and they are part of our decoration for example, little cows, piglets, sunflowers, etc. And in
combination to make some nice cushions for our benches or dining chairs to match.
I left you another photo with another curtain in white and blue....... don't they look beautiful??

Curtain: Crossed Piped Valances

In the following diagram, I illustrated the pattern with its measurements:

Note: This is the pattern of a single wave, if the curtain has 2 or 3 waves we must cut 2 or 3.
Sometimes the pattern, this depends on the width of the window.
In the following photo we can observe (3) waves, sewn together and how they were also sewn on
a continuous strip (tab) to pass the curtain rod tube. This strip measures 4 m x 22 cm in the
case of making (3) waves.

In the following diagram, (3) waves that are already sewn together are observed. Then a strip should be glued.

Upper folds of the top edge of borders, which can vary depending on the desired result.

Thus, the radial folds come from a single point, and the 'plane' is equal to the width of the finished lambrequin.
In handkerchiefs, which are published here, 'plain' quantity equal to half the width of the finished lambrequins.
Follow the instructions given here and deal with the regime.

A = half of the "flat" plus the size of 6 cm

B = two widths of finishing fringes.
C = three quarters of B.
D = half the length of the chain.
