How to sew lamberken?

1. We decided to sew the pelmet themselves, calculate how much fabric you need for this. Standard length of any lambrequin relative to the main curtain - about 1/5 or 1/6 part. Consider also the length of the fabric on the hem below and above.
2. The width of the lambrequin depends on the width of your window, as well as the size and type of folds.You have to decide whether you will make fixed folds or lay them with tape.
3. If you choose a braid, measure the width of your cornice, and then multiply this figure by the completeness recommended for this type of braid. Remember also about the increase in fabric on the side of the folds.

Lambrequin do it yourself: patterns

The main difficulty is usually swag pattern, the most popular element of lambrequin.

• Start building you need to take measurements and determine the following values:
• the distance along the eaves between the folds (1), the shoulder of the swag (2), the height (3) and the length (4) of the slack.
• When the exact value of these values ​​will be known, proceed to the construction patterns lambrequin.
• Start the construction by drawing a line at a 45 degree angle.
• Put the point A and from it set aside perpendicular.
• On this perpendicular, set aside half the distance between the folds, that is, half the size of 1. Set point A1.
• From point A1 set aside 9 cm - this is the allowance for processing and put the point A2.
• Set aside from point A the value of 3 multiplied by 2 and put the point B.
• AB = height sag x 2.
• From point B, set aside value 3 divided by 2 and put point B.
• BV = sag height / 2.
• From point B, draw a perpendicular.

• From point B along this perpendicular measure measure 4 divided by 2.
• BG = the length of the slack / 2.
• Connect the points A2 and G.
• Arc the vg.
• Finished building? Now the fun begins. In order to sew a lambrequin, modify this pattern and fold the folds manually.
• Cut the fabric according to the pattern. Then lay the beautiful uniform folds on the segment A2G. It is more convenient to lay folds on a stick that is upholstered with a cloth. It is more convenient to make a swagdowish than on a horizontal plane.
• After laying the folds, cut off the extra pieces of fabric and retake your pattern. Now you can sew pelmets!
• You may also need a tie pattern. It is very simple to build it, the main thing is to lay the folds correctly. Here they come from a single point. To build a tie pattern, begin by determining the height of the tie h. Then determine the heights h1 and h2. As a rule, height h1 is equal to half height h, and height h is determined by the model.

• Then determine the value of b. This is the length of the eaves and the length of the visible part of your folds.
• The value of a is the depth of the folds. It must be equal to the value of b multiplied by 2.
• Then the construction of the lambrequin pattern is based on the distribution of the folds.

Having learned how to sew lambrequins yourself, you wonderfully transform your home and cottage, making them very cozy..
