Espero que pueda interesar ..valoramos mas lo que desconocemos ( o lo ignoramos) de hecho todo son conocimientos de una tecnica aprendida y como la aplicamos...Hace anos descubri el Lino y cada dia sigo aprendiendo con 'el.
I hope could be interesting. I think ,in general speaking, we value much more what we don't know, to learn technique and a few skills to apply it is in fact the only one secret , but much more important is motivation .
I confess every day I'm learning running with linen.
From NY , a very nice customer brings to me the opportunity to make a new challenger hemstitched and embroidered curtain being that try never repeat them ! For that reason is a new challenger to me.
Let me show you a few steps how make 3 curtains in the same measure for the same window ,3 panels, I will explain you one of them :
Important here is the finishing bottom of curtain...that is the Tutorial , STAND OUT finishing :
1- Drawn in a paper the pattern , in this case a point in the centre.
2- Mark ironing the centre of fabric , you will need double fabric for that .
3- Done
4- Place pattern paper under fabric, keep in mind 1/4 " seam allowance
5- You will use : dressmaker's chalk, do not tighten and pin fabric
6- Done !
7- You will cut and sew ...mind seam allowance , 1/4 "
8- Cut done and stitched up !
9- After sewed... turn it up
10- You will need to cut what is left over ...and make ready for a hemstitch on it.
11- Allow and mark 1 and 1/2 " (3,8 cm / 4 cm)
12- Pulling threads (see HERE for more explanation ) taking away weave threads .we get to see threads to make hemstitch (weave = warp and weft = rows and columns )
Face to face starting hems
14- going on
15- Marking centre and finding hems for both sides of curtain.
16- Left side
17- right side...
And Voila..curtains finished !
Hanging at customer home ...( This is the 'After' looks window)
After many stitches ....you get this lovely panel curtain...20 x 43 " HERE a picture of little one
There are gorgeous hanging at the same window with three frames ,no need gathered curtains at sides and decorated for themselves !
HERE is the link where you find curtain in the shop
