Curtains for giving (44 photos) in country and Mediterranean style. Self-manufacturing

Summer season is coming. In the warm season, more and more people prefer to live outside the city, in nature. And this means that you need to think over not only your life, but also the interior in which you will spend part of the spring, summer and the warm beginning of autumn. Perhaps a curtain for the dacha sewn with your own hands from an inexpensive, but practical fabric, will be the beginning of the renovation of your summer home.

Of course, country curtains should be pleasing to the eye and correspond to the place for which they are intended. But there are a few more parameters that should be considered when choosing "clothing" for the windows of suburban housing.

It is not at all necessary to sew luxurious curtains for giving, because this is a country house in which everything should be simple, cute and functional

Here's what you need to pay special attention to:

• It is better to give preference to natural materials such as linen, cotton and chintz.
• Curtains should be practical. They should not fade quickly and get very dirty.
• The choice of fabrics for windows also depends on their location. For windows facing the sunny side, choose blackout curtains from dark matter, and for windows oriented to the shaded side, we leave light and light fabrics.
• If you live in the country all year round, you need to get another set of curtains - winter.
• Do not overload models with numerous frills and decorative elements. Simple and cute is our motto.
• For a veranda or gazebo, it is better to choose a material that does not allow water to pass through - PVC fabrics.

And also pay attention to the fact that country curtains should be easily removed, so rings or clothespins should be used as fasteners for them.

In this case, light and pretty curtains are fixed on the cornice-rod with the help of rings and clothespins: it is easy to remove them.

We sew country curtains in different styles

The style most often preferred by summer residents is called "rustic". It is popular not only in our country, but also in Europe, and even in America. Just in different countries it acquires its own distinctive features.

Patchwork in the Russian spirit

To embody the Russian village style, we need the simplest natural fabric. Usually it is a "cheerful" chintz, linen or cotton. Monophonic matter, and with a small pattern, will do. The curtain made by the patchwork method looks great.

Patchwork curtains look very elegant, despite the fact that they can be sewn from both new fabric and patches left over from other works.

To sew curtains from flaps, you need to measure the window, determine the parameters of the fabrics of the future curtain, and then make a pattern of its details. In this case, preference should be given to large elements so that the curtains are not too heavy due to the abundance of seams. The technique of patchwork sewing involves the use geometric shapes. Most often these are isosceles triangles or squares. The combination of dark and light details looks most effective.

For the future patchwork fabric, it is imperative to make a pattern on thick paper or cardboard, carefully numbering all the details

We cut out the parts from thick cardboard without seam allowances and number them so as not to get confused when connecting. We apply patterns to the wrong side of the material and trace them along the contour with chalk, remnant or a special marker. We will cut out each element, taking into account the allowances for the seams - about 0.5 cm. In order for the seam to be on the wrong side of the work, the parts must be connected by attaching them to each other with their front sides.

Stitched on sewing machine or hand-made seams, be sure to iron. To hide the wrong side of the product, it needs a lining. The edges of the resulting curtains can be decorated with braid, lace or ribbons.

Curtains in the Russian rustic style make out not only window, but also doorways, as well as a bed.

Bringing French country style to life

Rustic style in France was named after one of the provinces of this country. Namely Provence. To create this style, chintz is also quite suitable, and you can also use linen and even cambric. All these fabrics are natural and will serve well in the country.

When choosing a fabric, you can give preference to plain fabrics of blue, light blue, lavender and white flowers or use patterned material

In addition to fabric and a sewing machine, for work we need:

• Accessories. To decorate the product, satin ribbons and threads to match one of the colors of the base material are well suited.
• Tools and material. Prepare the paper for the pattern measuring tape, chalk or remnant, pins and very sharp scissors.

Fabric is better to buy with a margin of 10-15% in case possible errors during measurements. The minimum width of the fabric should be 3 meters.

Be sure to measure the window and adjust the dimensions suggested below, based on the results of our own measurements. We have to sew a simple version of Provence-style curtains from two halves with a transverse stripe. The width of each half is approximately 80 cm, and the transverse strip is 15-20 cm.

Despite the seeming simplicity of work, it should begin with a pattern. To do this, paper folded in half is placed on big table or on the floor. We draw the contours of future canvases in half of their actual size and cut them out.

When transferring the pattern to the fabric, do not forget to make allowances for the seams. In the upper part of the product, which will be attached to the cornice with clothespins, the allowance should be at least 5 cm. For the rest of the seams, it is enough to leave 1 cm each.

In the details cut out of the fabric, we pin off the edges that need to be stitched with pins so that the seams are even and neat. After that, we decorate the edges with a ribbon, and then we collect ready-made curtains in the Provence style.

The Provence-style attic looks very elegant, albeit simple. There is a lot of light here, a huge window decorated with a flowing translucent curtain

Don't forget the tiebacks that hold the curtains when they are parted. They can be made from pieces of fabric from curtains or in the form of decorative cords, ribbons, flowers.

We sew curtains in American country style

Just like any other rustic style, country is characterized by simplicity and naturalness.

For country, natural fabrics are most often chosen:

• not too bright;
• with floral pattern;
• in the box".

However, you can also use synthetics that mimic natural fabric. Its advantages for giving are that it will not burn out, will not turn yellow from the sun, will not shrink and will not wrinkle.

To correctly calculate the need for material, we make the necessary measurements. To determine the length of the product, you need to measure the distance from the cornice (the upper point of the curtain) to the window sill or the bottom of the radiator (lower point). We add to the result 6 cm for the hem of the product from the bottom and 3 cm for the turn in the upper part of the canvas. To determine the width of the product, you need to increase the length of the cornice by 1.5-2 times, depending on the density of the upcoming drapery.

This is how the curtains that we sewed will look like. The only difference is that these are attached to the cornice not with braid, but with decorative loops.

The simplest pattern is rectangular canvases. We cut the fabric. To avoid using pins, you can set the sewing machine to long stitch mode. It allows you to make folds. Sew curtain braid to the folded upper edge. Next, you should process the side seams. The edges of the braid should be tucked into the seam, and the ends of the cords left outside. By pulling them, it will be possible to adjust the degree of drapery of the curtain. It remains only to process the bottom and hang the finished curtains on the eaves.

Features of rustic style for different rooms

The rustic style is universal and very suitable for giving, so all rooms can be decorated in it, taking into account their characteristics.

We sew Roman curtains for the kitchen

The most current design for kitchen curtains is called cafe curtains. A barbell, fishing line or twine is fixed in the middle of the window. Two small canvases are strengthened on it. The upper part of the window is decorated with a lambrequin or curtains with pickups.

Another option that will look organic in the country kitchen is Roman blinds.

To create Roman blinds, large pieces of fabric are not needed: you can get by with a flap, which is only enough to cover the opening

For a detailed master class on sewing Roman curtains, see the video:

Living room, bedroom and dining room

If your country house has these rooms, then decorate them with long rustic-style curtains with tiebacks. As an additional decoration of the panels, you can use lace or fabric frills, satin ribbons, cords, buttons and beads.

Numerous ideas for rustic curtains are presented in the video:

Mediterranean style curtains

Another style that summer residents are happy to choose is Mediterranean.

Its characteristic features are as follows:

• abundance of light in the rooms;
• window big size;
• preference is given to translucent or completely transparent fabrics;
• fabrics should be plain or with floral ornaments.

Let's get everything ready necessary materials for work:

• the fabric that we have chosen taking into account all the recommendations given above;
• fabric scissors;
• centimeter tape or tape measure;
• pins and needles, thread;
• sewing machine.

To sew curtains for giving their own with my own hands, it is necessary to make preliminary measurements, which we will later be guided by when cutting the fabric.

Two piece curtains with ties

To get started, you can simply attach the selected fabric to the window, check the location of the pattern and how finished curtain will look in the interior. We measure the width of the window. We need twice as much fabric as the measurement value obtained. That is, for a two-meter window, four meters of material will be needed.

Orange and others warm colors transparent or translucent curtains are characteristic of the Italian direction of the sunny and cheerful Mediterranean style

We determine the length of the future product, making a measurement from the point where the upper edge of the panel will be fixed, to the level of the desired length. When calculating the parameters of the product, be sure to add 15-20 cm to the seams, hem and that part of the canvas that will be fixed on the cornice. It is better to cut the fabric by spreading it on the floor or on a large table. If the curtains will consist of two canvases, then fold the product in half in width and carefully cut along the length.

Stages of creation simple curtains: cutting fabrics on the floor, fixing folds with pins, spreading and fixing folds in the upper part of the fabric, working with a sewing machine

On all sides of the panels, except for the upper edge, we make folds, fixing them with pins. We sew the made outlines on a typewriter. Now the canvas looks neat. We bend the upper edge to the wrong side, fix it with pins and sew. From the outside, the seam can be hidden with a braid. The resulting hem is used to fix it on the eaves. Now we make pickups from the material at hand.

A more complex model can be stitched using the diagram below.

The best thing about this diagram is that specific dimensions are given. And this means that by measuring your window, you can recalculate the circuit data in accordance with the actual parameters

Beautiful curtain-arch

An arch can decorate a window opening in the kitchen and in any other room. Everywhere it will look surprisingly organic and gentle. You can sew an arch from a whole piece of fabric. It should be a piece large enough so that the ends of the arch hang down to the windowsill or even lower.

To create an arched shape of such a curtain, two methods can be used.

• The arc can be cut at the bottom of the canvas. The edge of the arch must be processed with an oblique trim, you can even decorate it with a ruffle. Top part arches fit into the opposite folds.
• In the second method, not one, but two arcs are cut. The upper arc along cut B is stretched, a special tape is sewn to it for fastening to the eaves. The bias-cut fabric hangs beautifully, forming soft folds. The edge of the arch runs along the lower arc. It is sheathed, if desired, decorated with ruffles.

This option is good because beautiful folds on the arch are obtained natural way, based on the method of cutting

For clarity, we suggest you watch a video on the topic of creating arch curtains:

As you can see, you don’t need any special skill to sew curtains for giving yourself. But it is the curtains, chosen with taste, that transform the interior before our eyes, give it completeness. You will spend at least three months at the dacha. Create an atmosphere of coziness and comfort.

Country style or "rustic" style has its attractive simplicity. Its diversity can be seen in the photo. There is a feeling that it should be exactly this way and nothing else. To sew country-style curtains with your own hands, you will have to work hard, but at the same time these are ordinary curtains with a simple finish from improvised tinsel.

Curtains are the main subject of window decoration; they can take the main place in any interior, including in country style.

Before sewing curtains in country style, you need to study their main differences:

• Country-style curtains are usually sewn from natural fabrics - chintz, cotton, linen, impregnated fabrics.
• It is better to choose light colors that can be combined with bright and rich shades.
• In tailoring, fabrics with simple patterns, stripes or plaid are welcome.
• All types of needlework are used in the decoration - ruffles, appliqués, lace, various cords and bows.

The length and width of the fabric for sewing curtains with your own hands is measured as follows:

• Length must exceed the distance from the window sill to the eaves by 9 cm (for folds and folds).
• Width parameter depends on the width of the cornice. The width of the curtain should be one and a half times the width of the cornice + 4 cm for the side hem.

The warmth and comfort of the house is felt in such pleasant trifles as do-it-yourself decorative elements of the interior.

The use of light materials. You must give up heavy materials, creating the impression of luxury and captivating all eyes. For small windows, it is better to use curtains made of light, airy, transparent fabrics.

Such a delicate and elegant window frame will decorate even the cramped room. The best option there will be new curtains made of organza and veils.

Only light colors. Pastel shades, for example, alabaster, sand, will be appropriate. Bright, saturated colors only visually reduce the opening.

No ornament. It is better to hang curtains made of smooth, plain material on a small window. Any kind of ornament is highly undesirable, as it will conceal centimeters. Only a horizontal strip is allowed, because it visually increases the width of the window.

The absence of any items on the window sill. The window sill must be empty. Houseplants, books, lamps here contribute to the fact that window hole will appear smaller. They also block out sunlight.
