French curtains are a classic of the genre. They are perfect for any interior, in the living room or bedroom.
A huge selection of ready-made French curtains with different interpretations. But it is always interesting to do something with your own hands, to contribute to the design of the room.
In this article we will tell you where to start sewing curtains and how to make real French curtains.
Choosing a fabric
The most difficult thing is to choose a fabric from such a large variety. The main thing in French curtains is that weave was fed to drapery. It can be a dense fabric, airy, light, here it already matches the style of the room.
Each fabric has its own properties, they must be taken into account when sewing French curtains:
- With a high density of fabric, falling waves can be made;
- Lush folds are made with a light fabric;
- If French curtains are designed for the kitchen, then a light translucent fabric would be appropriate here;
- Fabrics with patterns for this type of curtains must be selected carefully, do not forget that folds will be made where the pattern may be lost;
- A fabric with bright colors will create a special atmosphere, if plain curtains, then diluted with a light pattern, not catchy.
Many people prefer the classics. As a rule, satin, silk or tulle fabric is chosen for French curtains. A standard choice that you can't go wrong with.
We take measurements for tailoring curtains
If you have decided on the view, then now you have to measure the window and the cornice in order to know how many meters of fabric you need.
Do not forget that a sufficient amount of fabric is spent on drapery (a factor of 1.8 across the width of the fabric), consider this as well.
Measure the cornice initially and add another 5 centimeters to this calculation for the seams. Leave the rest of the material for assembly.
Double the resulting length of the curtain and add another 3 centimeters from the top and 5 from the bottom for seams to this amount. Thus, we got a complete calculation of the necessary fabric for the future creation of French curtains.
Detailed sewing scheme - pattern
Without a pattern, it will be difficult to understand the technology of sewing curtains. One calculation is not enough. Therefore, you need to follow the drawing and certain actions.
And so we'll figure out how to sew French curtains with our own hands.
- In order to get a truly design creation without visible self-delivery, we follow the following rules:
- Let's do the decathing. What is it that many will ask? Decating your image processing the fabric so that the curtains do not shrink in the future. Before sewing, soak the fabric in warm water and leave for 15 minutes, then wring it out well and let dry.
- Let's start processing from the bottom and top. Straighten the fabric and fold the fabric 1.5 cm from all sides, fasten and hem.
- Important! From the bottom, the bend is made by 2 cm.
- We make notes for the wings with the help of a regular ruler, make sure that the gaps are equal. Drawstrings are made from pieces of fabric. For an example of a sketch, see the photo of French curtains.
- Sew the fabric along the marked line, the width of the fabric should be 3 cm, the hem is made to the inside from the side.
- Do not forget that the curtain is regulated by a cord in the top, which must be threaded into the backstage.
In this way, curtains are formed that, in the future, will decorate your room, and the work done by your own hands will arouse the pride and respect of your relatives.

Windows covered with ordinary blinds in most cases look very dry, and such restraint is not suitable for every kitchen. At the same time, lush folds and tails of hanging fabric are also out of place in the kitchen area. The most acceptable design is light-colored curtains made of a plain material that transmits light well.
Light translucent curtains without unnecessary decorative details and complex shapes are almost an ideal solution for kitchens of different stylistic orientations. Such models are especially relevant for small rooms.

A clean-lined fabric that can be folded with a simple mechanism is almost universal and suitable for kitchens of different styles. Despite the unpretentiousness of the forms, quite a variety of materials used for curtains allow you to choose an original solution for small and large kitchen spaces.

Roman blinds, made from natural materials, will fit perfectly into high-tech and retro rooms. Additional embellishments in the form of fringes and patterns will give an even more expressive look, drawing the eye to a neatly framed window.
Roller blinds in the interior of the kitchen
Such curtains do not differ in special design delights. In most cases, roller blinds are plain or decorated with drawings and photo prints. But this does not detract from their merits, they perfectly protect the kitchen from the prying eyes of passers-by, prevent the penetration of sunlight and are quite easy to clean.
When purchasing roller blinds, it is necessary to take into account the size of the window frames, a slip of a couple of centimeters will harm the appearance of the window as a whole.
If you are looking for curtains for a kitchen with a balcony, the listed types of "curtains" will come in handy. Convenience, conciseness, ease of maintenance, plus a variety of models will give the premises the necessary accent.

Several rather wide bands of translucent airy fabric of different shades, which do not completely hide the beautiful landscape outside the window and especially do not attract attention, filling the whole room with light.
Thicker curtains with ordinary straight fabrics, thanks to an interesting texture or color of the fabric, will also look good, but rather simply against the background of whole compositions of fabrics of different colors and quality, decorated with decorative elements.
Beautiful drapery, horizontal and vertical elements, lambrequins, weightless organza and noble velvet, weaving of various shades and textures of fabric are found in a diverse range of curtains for the living room.

- Classic.
- English.
- Austrian.
- French.
- Roman.

- Japanese.
Roman and roller blinds
Roman and roller blinds, proposed above as a universal option for the kitchen, are also successfully used in living rooms, only the type of fabric used and the size of the canvases differ.
Such curtains will be a lifeline in a small living room. Concise canvases tightly located to the window frame will not occupy precious centimeters. Roller and Roman blinds will organically fit into the interiors of living rooms decorated in modern and minimalist style.
Japanese curtains
And since we are talking about minimalism, Japanese curtains come to the fore. A whole system of screens, fixed on a multi-row cornice, allows fabric sheets to move parallel to each other. Curtains that do not have folds can serve as a real art object that attracts the attention of guests due to the large pattern on the canvases.
Classic curtain design
Classic curtains include long wide canvases falling to the floor. The fabric intercepted with beautiful tiebacks forms chic folds, giving the curtains a more sophisticated look.
English curtains
English curtains can be both an independent element that decorates a window, and can act as an alternative to ordinary tulle. They can be distinguished by the rounded folds of the lower part of the translucent fabric.
Austrian curtains
Austrian curtains look great as an independent element of decor, although not against the company of curtains. The lower part resembles English curtains, but the Austrian ones rise with a slight movement, showing lush rounded scallops. When assembled, Austrian curtains look more spectacular, showing luxurious coattails. They are appropriate in rooms that gravitate towards baroque, art deco and, of course, classic styles.
french style curtain design
French curtains unknowingly can be confused with Austrian and vice versa. In fact, there are many differences, the French ones are sewn from expensive thin fabrics, in the unfolded state they are a lot of scallops collected in the same coattails along the entire length of the canvas. The curtains look equally impressive both when folded and when unfolded. Chic curtains of an interesting shape, a lambrequin will be an excellent addition to French curtains and complete the image of the living room, filling it with the exquisite luxury of a classic interior.
Curtains for the bedroom should carry comfort
Luxurious materials, spectacular models of curtains, appropriate in the living room, are hardly suitable for the bedroom. A peaceful atmosphere, comfort and coziness - that's what a person should feel when entering his bedroom! The textiles used in this room are of great importance. Properly selected curtains, echoing the decoration of the bed, small pillows and other decorative elements, create a unique feeling of warmth.
Bright catchy colors do not contribute to calming, provoking the brain to vigorous activity, which is why it is preferable to use muted bed colors for the bedroom. Weightless translucent curtains are also not used for the bedroom, they are unlikely to protect from the bright rays of the sun and cold moonlight. A more acceptable option is thick curtains combined with weightless tulle.
For lovers of elegance, classic curtain models, complemented by lambrequins, beautiful tassels and tacks, are more suitable. Fans of minimalism will love Japanese, Roman or roller blinds, the clear forms of which can be softened with a thin translucent tulle.

Another important selection criterion is fashion trends.

All shades of green, lilac-violet gamma, eggplant, brick saturated with brownish tones - this is not a complete list of bright colors that have entered the fight for the place of the most fashionable color for curtains this season.
Having found out the main palette used in the design of curtains, it would be useful to recall the patterns on the fabric. Large images and patterns are still in fashion, an interesting novelty is some vagueness of the picture, reminiscent of watercolors washed out by water.

Minimalism in design is not a favorite of the season, so multi-layer curtain designs are welcome, interesting with a combination of different textures and colors.
