Lambrequin curtains made of patches

All women know that curtains always create coziness in the house. The interior of an apartment often depends on how the curtains are lined up. Because curtains can create comfort, warmth, increase or decrease the space and height of a room. You can paste faceless wallpaper, but by hanging the right curtains and lambrequin, the room will look fashionable and rich. Every housewife has old curtains that are a pity to throw away and lie unclaimed for years. I suggest using old curtains to make a lambrequin out of them. Let's take two types of curtains of different colors, preferably a single color. I took two types, 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 lining, then when hanging them on the window they would curl and lose their shape. You can use an old sheet for the lining; I happened to have a new white sheet, unused from the old days. We cut out three types of squares from paper, say 20x20, 16x16, 12x12. Well, that's up to you. We lay out old curtains and cut out an equal number of all types of squares from two colors.




We also make it from lining material.



The number of squares depends on the length of your window; you can roughly immediately draw a lambrequin on paper and calculate the amount you will need. I personally trimmed myself some more if I didn’t have enough of them when sewing. After cutting, you need to put the base on the squares.

Each square was sewn along the contour of the opposite color with threads, creating contrast.

Then I carefully trimmed off the excess along the contour. After processing and cutting the squares, I made chains of them on the floor, making them as I liked. I tried to just put it in a square, it turned out simple and not very original, then I put it with an angle up, and it looked much more interesting. I sewed it on a machine using the same functions, first the chains in length.




Only then did I connect the chains together.




The lambrequin is ready!




I hung it up and my husband and I really liked it. The advantage of such a lambrequin is great! Look at Otto's catalogs. In the West, they really love things and decorations for home and apartment in this style. The advantage of such a lambrequin is obvious! Firstly, everyone has old curtains, old sheets too. This means you don't 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 are, the more beautiful they will look on the squares. This means you won’t have to spend money on buying thread either. A self-made lambrequin is unique, which means you won’t find one like this in any of your friends.The big plus is that when the lambrequin hangs on the window and the sun comes through the holes between the squares, this creates a very beautiful darkened sunny effect in the room. Sew and enjoy your crafts!
