How to sew a lambrequin - a master class
Now we will look at how to sew a lambrequin step by step.
- The length of the lambrequin is equal to two lengths of the cornice , and the height is taken 1/5 of the length of the curtain. We have a width of 6 meters, and a length of 50 cm. If there is no solid piece, you can sew two in one long one. One piece of sewn should be longer by 3-4 cm, so that the seam is hidden in the folds and it was not noticeable.
- Fold the resulting piece in half, the front side inward and put it on the floor.
- We make folds for half the width of future lambrequin - we have 1.5 meters.
- Let's think up on paper a picture of the lower edge of a lambrequin.
- Cut from the fabric and lay out the folds.
- All seams are treated with an overlock, bottom and top of the lambrequin also.
- Then we put the workpiece face up, and to the straight line of the lambrequin we pin the corsage tape, with an overlap of 2 cm.
- Lateral edge bend.
- The tape is pinned to the workpiece along the entire width with an interval of 15-20 cm.
- Straighten with a straight single stitch.
- Fold the tape down, and the face of the fabric up.
- We iron the fabric with a not very hot iron, turn it face down and pin the tape with pins.
- We spend the lower part of the tape and the side parts of the lambrequin.
- We sew the fringe to the figured side of the lambrequin. For this, we put the fabric on top of the fringe.
- Frize the fringe twice so that there are no assemblies.
- The next stage is fastening the eyelets. The interval between them will be 15 cm and an even number of rings.
- We mark with pencil the location of the eyelets - circling the middle.
- Cut the circles with scissors.
- We put one half in the fabric and snap the second one.
- After finishing the work on the first half of the lambrequin - turn it over so that the corsage tape is visible.
- Repeat the same steps for the other half of the lambrequin.
Our lambrequin is ready - we hang it and evenly distribute the folds.
