How beautiful the tulle assembly will look depends on the material chosen. The main types of fabric that are used for sewing similar products.

But there are a lot of advantages: simple washing, good opaque and dust-proof qualities, the material dries quickly after washing, it is easy to iron, it is almost not wrinkled.
Veil. Thin and light. It, like organza, does not allow air to pass through. Transmits light, but for the lower floors with windows to the north is not quite suitable, because it will create a noticeable shading.

How to sew a tulle do it yourself: step by step instructions
There are many different options for how to sew tulle. But the easiest way is to hem the bottom, side cuts and sew curtain tape. Even a beginning seamstress who knows how to sew a straight line on a typewriter will cope with such work.
Before you sew tulle, you need to collect everything you need. You need the simplest set of materials and tools.
- Fabric cut.
- Curtain tape.
- Scissors.
- Needle and thread.
- Sewing machine.
Note! In order for window textiles to lay down in beautiful folds, it is necessary to measure the width of the eaves (not windows!) And multiply the measured value by 2. This will be the amount of fabric needed for curtains with folds.
The master class includes several simple steps.
Step 1. Side seams. Lateral cuts are suture-treated. To do this, we bend the cut to the wrong side by 7 mm and press. Fold over again 2 cm and press or sweep.
Step 2. Curtain tape. To the top, on the front side of the product impose a curtain tape (wrong side).
Council Before sewing, it is necessary to pull out the thread by 7-9 cm so that they are not under the stitching.
Then we turn the product inside out and from the wrong side make the line as close as possible to the lower edge of the ribbon, which will be enlightened through the fabric and will become a guideline.
Now we bend the fabric along with the sewn tape on the seamy side and gently iron the fold. The ribbon allowance, left in advance, bends inward. Threads set aside so that they do not fall under the line. Sew the resulting side bend with a straight line across the width of the tape. This closes the side edge of the braid, and the product looks neat.
Important! It is necessary to ensure that the line does not overlap the long thread or eyelets for hooks.
Step 3. Processing bottom. Try on the product to the eaves, adjust the desired height. Treat the bottom of the curtains in the same way as the side seams.
Step 4. Ironing. To make the product sit well and the assembly was beautiful, it is necessary to iron it well. Ironing should be neatly, not too warming the iron.
Step 5. Folds. All that remains to be done is to tighten the long threads and form the folds of the required depth.

We lay on the fabric obtained value of the width and height and connect the lines to make a triangle. We leave allowances of 2-2.5 cm for filing and cut out the "corner".
