About patchwork

The charm of this curtain is approx. 90 x 128 cm consists in the fact that daylight passes through it and illuminates the room as if through a huge colored lampshade. This piece of patchwork has no padding or lining, in addition to this, the seam allowances are not swept and form a delicate fringe over time.To emphasize the originality of this product, choose fabrics of very restrained and delicate shades for it.

Cut

For starters, of course, have to work hard. From fabrics A and B according to the pattern, cut out 102 squares with a length of 7.5 cm + 5 mm of allowances for the seams on all sides. Then cut another 102 rectangles from fabrics C and B, without a template, by hand, their sizes should vary from 4.5 to 5 cm for each side.

Start blocks

Sew a small square of fabric With the wrong side down on the face in the center of a square cut out of a pattern from fabric A. Do not tuck up the cuts of the upper square. The stitching seam does not have to be as straight as a string. Sew ecru threads. Between sections and the seam of the upper square should remain approx. 6 mm.
In the same way, process all 102 blocks of fabrics A and C, then repeat the process for blocks of fabrics B and D. Carefully iron all the blocks. Now carefully cut the fabric of the lower square under the small rectangle stitched on top, not reaching the seam of approx. 6 mm.

To start blocks from shreds

Fold the blocks in 17 rows of 12 blocks (see photo diagrams). Alternate the squares of fabrics, A and fabrics B. Now stitch the blocks sequentially in a row. Seam allowances should be the same. Iron the seam allowances, then iron the rows of blocks themselves. Then grind the rows and iron the allowances again. Do not completely cut off the ends of the threads with which you ended the seam; this will give the product a stylish sloppiness.

Assembly

Wrap the outer sections of the curtain 6 mm on the wrong side and stitch from the front. From fabrics C and B, cut 4 strips of size.5 x 20 cm for hanging loops. Fold the lengthwise strips in half face to face. Stitch with a seam width of 6 mm along long sections. Turn the part onto your face and iron it. Fold the loops in half across and at regular intervals, sew them from the wrong side to the top edge of the curtain.
