the possibility of their installation on wooden or plastic windows;
good fit to the windows, due to which the possibility of looking into the house from the outside is excluded;
ease of care;
possibility to choose translucent or very dense material, allowing you to qualitatively darken the room;

Curtains of this type look amazing in minimalist interiors, but are, in principle, universal. After all, you can choose a textured canvas or material with any pattern - so that it matches the theme of the room or the color of the window frames. By the way, the canvas on the window can only be partially opened, which makes this solution incredibly functional.

Roller Blinds vs Roman Blinds - What's the difference?

Roller blinds and Roman blinds are very similar in appearance, but different opening mechanism. So, Roman curtains are assembled into folds arranged horizontally, and rolled curtains are twisted and fixed with special garter ribbons.

Both in that, and in other design the tape tape fixed in fabric is provided. Roman blinds, when opened, will create a drapery from beautiful folds, and rolled ones are twisted into a roll.

Roman blinds are also popular and are often used in the interior of balconies and loggias. About that, and what is required for this, read our article.

Choosing the right material

Before you sew roller blinds with your own hands, you need to calculate required amount material. If the fastening will be made in the window opening, then the opening is measured, if wooden frame- the dimensions of the glass are measured. Cuts prepared for sewing should have the following dimensions:

the width of the curtain is the width of the opening (glass) + 2-4 cm for allowances;
curtain length - opening (glass) height + 5-15 cm.

Cloths of fabric with the indicated dimensions need 2 - for the front and back sides. By the way, they can have a different pattern, or they can be performed the same. You will also need fabric (ribbons or decorative cords) to make garters - the length of the fabric strips is equal to two curtain lengths plus 25 cm additionally. For sewing and subsequent fastening, you will also need:

wooden beam for fasteners with dimensions of approximately 3x4 cm (you can replace the beam with a metal tube) - the dimensions of the fastener must correspond to the width of the curtain;
if you do not want to make the mount yourself, then you can use a ready-made purchased cassette system;
needed for weighting metal rod or wooden plank;
furniture stapler and paper clips;
screwdriver and screws for mounting the mount;
sewing accessories.

The fabric for such curtains must be chosen with great care - it is better if it is material with special impregnation(dust-, dirt-repellent, antistatic, antibacterial). Such a design will be not only more aesthetic, but also easy to maintain. You can also choose a fabric with different light-transmitting properties:

light-scattering, transmitting a certain amount sun rays into the room;
reflective, that is, maximally impenetrable to sunlight - a balcony covered with such curtains will help keep you cool in the summer heat.

As for the design and patterns on the fabric, here your choice is practically unlimited - you can order a plain material, a fabric with photo printing or a bright expressive ornament. Recommendations for choosing a material design are as follows:

it is desirable that the textiles harmonize in color with the furniture;
dark plain fabrics are out of place in the kitchen or dining room, for these rooms better material with floral patterns or abstractions;
the pattern on the curtains should not repeat the pattern on the wallpaper;
successful color combinations: chocolate with beige, cream and gold, blue with yellow, silver and white, red with white or gold;
translucent fabrics will help you visually expand the room;
material with transverse stripes will make the walls wider, and a vertical pattern will help increase the height of the ceilings;
windows overlooking south side, you can make it cooler using blue, green, purple fabrics ( cold range), and northern rooms will become warmer thanks to orange, red or yellow shades of textiles;
blackout material will help to darken any room, because it has a dense texture that does not transmit light at all.

Roller blinds and roman blinds

These types of curtains are similar only in the way they are fastened in the window opening and used in the interior. The principle of operation and their appearance are different.

roman shade mount which is similar to the roll mount, similar to the roll in its appearance on the window. Mounting of both is possible from the outside window opening and inside it, as well as on the ceiling.

Usually rolled and roman shade mount which takes place right in window hole, require perfect flat surface opening. With outdoor installation of curtains, it is possible to hide the shortcomings of a recent repair. Both take up a minimum of space, are practical, easy to dismantle and durable in use.

Their difference lies in the mechanism for raising and lowering the curtain fabric.

quality making a roman blind provides for the coordinated work of the eaves with a lifting shaft, braid and control rope. This ribbon braid, fixed in a special way in the fabric, is lifted with the help of blocks.

If in a roller blind the fabric is twisted into a roll, completely hiding in the box when lifted up, then making a roman blind provides for the collection of fabric in beautiful folds-draperies.

how to sew roman blinds

Today there is a wide variety various kinds curtains. Different styles exert their influence on certain models that are not interchangeable for creating an interior.

As you know, how many people have so many opinions. This well-known judgment is applicable to the choice of style of curtains. Choosing from all the variety, the main thing is to decide what you want to achieve by choosing one or another model.

They will perfectly protect you from prying eyes and will not create complete darkness in the room, letting in the sun's rays, making the room bright, light and uncluttered. This is great alternative classic curtains. This solution will bring freshness and novelty to your interior.

You can make such curtains yourself. They are used to create various materials: from wood to textiles. In the following master classes, we will consider options for curtains made of textiles. Roman blinds, following the instructions, you can create them yourself.

Master class №1

To create these curtains you will need:

2 blinds
2 yards of fabric (the amount of fabric depends on the size of the window)
construction gun with liquid nails
Adhesive for fabric
Scissors
Sewing machine

Often, the method is used without seams, and only special glue is used. But in order for your curtains to look neat and finished, you need to lay a seam. It is necessary to fold the canvas into two equal parts and tuck around the edges twice. Iron and stitch.

Now let's take care of the blinds. Remove all fittings.

Leave the inner center thread in place.

Remove the white circles from the bottom of the blinds and any slats. It should look something like this:

Let's take measurements. In this case, a fabric 108 cm long is used, every 18 cm make up the crossbar of future curtains.

Use a pencil and draw all the measurements on the wrong side. Glue the crossbars along the lines. Use fabric glue.

Try to stick carefully, do not apply a lot of glue, because when it dries and hardens with outside may show through the lines from it.

Straighten the material so that there are no wrinkles and then glue the crossbars, making sure they are evenly spaced.

We fix the frame, we pass the threads through the holes in the crossbars. In some places you will have to separate the fabric and glue, but this will not destroy the entire structure.

Join upper part blinds to the fabric (you can use a gun with liquid nails for this).

Glue the bottom part, but thread the thread through the holes first and tie a knot.

Glue the hanging tails to the wrong side.

Almost finished, it remains to cover the upper crossbar with a cloth.

Take a strip of fabric of the appropriate size, process the edges and glue with liquid nails to the crossbar.

Ready!!! Quick and easy solution!

Step by Step Lesson #2

The next master class is perfect solution captivating with its originality. This window design will not leave indifferent any guest.

These are not real Roman blinds, just their convincing imitation, as they do not fall or rise, but if you have no one to hide from and protection from sunlight is not a priority for you, then this solution is right for you.

You will need the following materials and supplies:

Textile
Adhesive for fabric
wooden crossbar
Self-adhesive paper
Printer
Construction stapler
A hammer
Nails
measuring tape
Buttons

1: First we need to make an image that we will transfer to our curtains. Here is the stencil - download the pdf file.

2: Print on self-adhesive paper and cut out all the details.

3: Cut the fabric for curtains, adding to the width of the window 10 cm in width, and the length of the product is 2/3 of the height of the window. Since the product will be assembled, the exact length is up to you.

4: Turn over all edges of the product and iron. When tucking, measure the width of the frill so that the edges are equal.

5: Tape all edges. While they dry, lay out all the printed parts as you like.

6: Iron all details. Do not strive for perfection, it is not necessary here.

Tip: If you remove the paper before it cools, the image will be blurry. Letting the paper cool will result in a clearer drawing.

7: Tuck the short edge of the fabric around the wood beam and secure with a construction stapler.

8: Make folds as you wish, the length and number of folds is up to you.

9: Sew or pin the creases, if the fabric is heavy, do both steps.

10: Fix the product with nails or screws in place.

Voila!!! Everything is ready!!!

Master class number 3

The next master class will take you some time, due to the complexity of the manufacturing process.

You will need materials:

Tape (length depends on the size of your product, but at least 2 spools of 5 meters)
curtain material
Threads in the color of the ribbon
Sewing machine
pins
measuring tape

1: Unwind the entire roll of tape. Working from the middle (mirror) will make the process easier. To find the middle, simply connect the ends and straighten it. Determine the center on the fabric and connect to the center of the tape.

Pin the tape at 15 mm intervals. Go in two directions at once. Pin with pins strictly vertically.

2: Making corners. In no case do not cut the tape, just turn it 90 degrees. Where the pin is pinned, you fold the tape back around it, if the pins are pinned horizontally, a straight line is formed. Then you make a 45 degree angle, holding the angle and pulling forward, like this...

Just pin that corner. Now do the same for the mirror side.

Now you see what you have to do. Each time you complete one corner, you come back and repeat on the opposite side. Now measure an equal distance from the 45 degree corners to the start of the corners of the square. Again, make sure the pins are pinned straight as they are to create 45 degree angles. Decide on the dimensions of the rectangular part, paying attention to the symmetry of both sides. After laying out the tape as you like, pin the corners.

Continue by creating something like this drawing.

As you can see, one coil was not enough. Therefore, repeat all the steps with the second coil, on the bottom of the product.

Note: Make sure that the dimensions (location, length, and "square" size) of the upper part match the drawing of the lower part of the product.

Having finished with the "squares" you form a frill around the perimeter of the product. Pin and repeat the same with the other part. When you're done, it should look something like this...

Time to stitch, choose suitable color threads and go. This will take some time as there are so many corners. You must remember that you cannot flash channels.

After the sewing work is completed, iron all the products, carefully straightening the tape, we thread the plastic rods into the channels:

All the work has come to an end, it remains only to hang your wonderful roller blinds and enjoy their amazing view.

roller blinds

You can sew them yourself. And roller blinds on plastic windows are also installed in a jiffy.

For work, we need the following tools and materials:

two pieces of fabric different design- for the front and back side of the curtain
two wooden blocks, long window frame- one for fastening, the other for weighting the curtains.
ring screws - 5 pcs.;
screws-hooks - 3 pcs.;
cord;
scissors;
centimeter;
sewing accessories.

STEP 1. We measure the window frame and, according to the calculations, cut out two segments from the prepared fabric the right sizes, leaving 3 cm margin for width and 10 cm margin for length for seam allowance.

From the inside we sew two pieces of matter, leaving one end unsewn. We turn out the curtain, sew and iron.

Roller blinds have a reverse side and a front side.

Let's choose which side our curtain will hang against the wall and spread it on a flat surface face down.

Now we will sew the “pockets” for the slats: for this, we will fold the edges of the curtains (from the top by 3 cm, from the bottom by 1.5 cm), stitch and insert the slats.

STEP 2. The upper strap sewn into the curtain is a fastener. Through the fabric, carefully screw two ring screws into it from above, and from the front side of the curtain - the other two ring screws. From one edge of the bar we retreat 5 cm and screw another ring into it.

STEP 3. To roll roller blinds, you need a cord.

We unwind and cut off two cords - one equal to the triple length of the curtain, the second is exactly the same plus another half the length of the curtain.

We thread the cords into the rings on the fastening bar.

At the same time, it is important to remember that more long cord should be tied to the ring that is located further from the common side ring.

STEP 4. We run the cords along the inside of the curtain, wind it to the front side, again pass them through the ring screws, bring them out through the common side loop and tie the cords together.

STEP 5. To hang roller blinds on plastic windows, you must first screw two hook screws into the frame. The main thing is that the hooks fall just opposite the top of the rings on the curtain.

If we coped with this task, we hang the curtain.

On the side of the frame, you need to screw another hook screw to wind the curtain cord around it when it is rolled up.

The second version of the roller blind

Open the roller blind

Calculating Width new curtain, you need to add approximately 2.5 cm from the sides, which will go to the hem and cut sections. Before proceeding with cutting, it is necessary to measure the distance from the curtain rail to the window sill.
At the bottom edge of the roller blind there should be a drawstring for a rigid strip, therefore, when calculating the length, it is necessary to add approximately 5 cm to the drawstring for the strip and 1.5 cm of fabric for hem and cut to the bottom edge. To strengthen the upper edge, a rigid braid is attached to it.
If the edges cause the material to shrink at the edges, it is best to cut them off to avoid skewing the finished product. If a dense fabric is chosen for sewing curtains, then when cutting it, in no case should you tear it apart, as some impatient dressmakers do, it is better to use scissors for cutting. When the fabric breaks, the direction of the threads is distorted, and the finished curtain may turn out to be deformed. Curtains should be cut only in the direction of the threads of the fabric.

Tailoring of roller blinds

Before you start sewing, you need to iron the hem on the product. If you do this before sewing, the processed edges will be clearer and more accurate, and the process of processing the product will take much less time.
For heat treatment edges will require a metal pattern and an iron with a steamer. The side cut must be wrapped half a centimeter around the edge of the tailor's pattern and ironed. Carefully moving the pattern, you should iron the fold along its entire length, after which the edge of the curtain must be wrapped over the pattern for another 2 cm and iron the edge again. The hem must be stitched on both sides of the curtain.
The lower edge of the product should be wrapped 2.2 cm along the edge of the metal pattern and ironed, after which the ironed edge should be wrapped one more time so that the bar can fit inside.
The drawstring needs to be processed with an iron, stitched and inserted into the bar.
Sew 2 ribbons to the top of the curtain.
The upper edge of the finished curtain must be attached with special brackets to the top bar, iron the finished product and the curtain is ready.

Now hand-sewn roller blinds can be hung on the window.

Roller blind without insert in the lower edge of the rigid bar

Pursuing the goal of refreshing the interior, sewing new curtains will simultaneously demonstrate the creative abilities of the hostess. A successful experiment will be the replacement of classic curtains with the current roll model. You should not be afraid of a complex lifting mechanism.

The proposed master class will help you create original roller blinds with your own hands. There are options for attaching textiles to a window without drilling. Further information will reveal the secrets of mastery.

Characteristics of roller blinds

Conciseness and practicality - distinctive features roller blinds. This model is especially appreciated in the interior of the kitchen. Curtains are designed to save space and visually not clutter up the space. roll type in small spaces. Finished goods when assembled, they are wound on the shaft. There are three layout options:

The advantages of interior design with roller blinds are as follows:

Price finished models, especially with a cassette design, is quite high. It is much cheaper to make roller blinds with your own hands. The principle of their work is as follows:

The role of the cornice is played by a shaft, which is fixed above the window opening or directly on the frame. It has a canvas on it.
The fabric itself is held together by ribbons or cords that are located at the top of the curtains. They allow you to adjust the degree of opening or closing of the roller blind.
There are tailoring options when several transverse "bars" limit the height of the opening of the product.

The mechanism, when the installation of the curtains is carried out without drilling, is presented in the following video:

Preparatory stage: measurements, fabric selection, related materials

Before proceeding with measurements, you should decide on the place of fixing the curtains and the model itself, whether it will cover the entire window opening or only glass. The procedure consists of simple steps:

First, all window sizes are recorded.
The length of the product is determined by the height of the window with the addition of 15 cm for pockets and 2 cm for seam processing.
The width is equal to the dimensions of the window, which are increased by 2 cm.

An approximate measurement scheme is shown in the photo below:

The choice of fabric takes place taking into account the desired degree of shading of the room.

Important! Roller-type curtains, when mounted on window sashes, are clearly visible from the street. Therefore, the material is selected with a double-sided pattern, or a cut is bought, the length of which is twice the required size.

If the roller blinds are for the kitchen, it is recommended to find an anti-static fabric that can repel dust. It is less susceptible to contamination, making textile care easier.

In addition to matter, for the original curtains you will need:

Two slats, the length of which corresponds to the size of the window.
Furniture stapler.
Hook screws - 3 pieces.
Ring screws - 5 pieces.
Strong tape or cord.

Self-manufacturing

Options self-manufacturing there are several curtains, consider the most popular ones.

Method 1

To create roller blinds on hooks, you need:

To place on a plastic window finished curtain without drilling, screws-hooks are screwed into the frame, which are placed in accordance with the place of the upper rings on the roller curtain bar. On the frame, you will need to fix another hook, which will serve to wind the rope when the roller blind is in the folded state.

Do-it-yourself roller blinds are one of the options for window decoration.

Roller blinds are also called roller blinds or fabric roller blinds.

Rolshtora will perfectly fit into an interior of a drawing room, kitchen or a bedroom.

Description

Compared to conventional curtains or blinds, fabric roller blinds have a number of advantages:

For roller blinds, dust-resistant fabrics with antistatic impregnation are used, which facilitates cleaning, such curtains do not require washing.
Fabric blinds are in perfect harmony with curtains and curtains, if the design idea requires it.
They perform a protective function against burnout of fabric interior items, from overheating and scorching sunlight, from the views of passers-by.
Easy replacement of the fabric of the roller blind gives numerous variations of changing the interior according to the season or mood.
Fabric roller blinds can be fixed on various levels, so you can adjust the degree of illumination of the premises. And thanks to the special fabrics of BlackOut, you can create complete impenetrability and blackout.
An air gap is created between the curtain and the double-glazed window, which does not let through in winter cold air inside, and in the summer - keeps cool.

Master Class

Materials that will be required:

Dimity.
Fabric, ribbons or decorative cords for garters.
Wooden beam for fasteners.
Wooden plank for weighting.
Screws and screwdriver.
Sewing accessories.

Step 1

It is necessary to decide how the roller blinds will be attached and how they are located. They can be installed directly on the frame, above the window on the wall or in the window opening..

Also decide on the mechanism for twisting the curtains.

Whether it will be just a hand-wound roll on decorative ribbons, or using rings and lacing, or special fastening kits. The finished kit is equipped with a roller with a side lifting mechanism.

Designer Tip: for plastic windows for installing roller blinds on the frame, they sell special removable square fasteners that cling to the frame from above.

A variety of roller blinds are the so-called Roman blinds, the principle of operation of which was borrowed from sailors who collected sails in this way. Roman blinds are pleated horizontally.

For Roman blinds, blinds can be used as a lifting mechanism. Instead of blinds plates, fix the selected curtains.

Step 2

Given the location of the curtains, cut out two pieces of fabric of the appropriate size.

The fabric used for the front and back sides of the curtains can be with a different print. Or maybe the same, then you can decorate the curtain with appliqué or braid and lace.

If you install roller blinds on a frame, then the length and width of the curtains will be equal to the length and width of the window. If - on the wall above the window, then increase the length and width of the curtain by 10-15 cm from the length and width of the window opening.

Take note: before cutting the fabric, the matter must be "seated" so that this does not happen when everything is already cut out. To do this, the fabric is washed, dried and ironed.

Also provide indents around the perimeter of 2 cm for the seams.

Step 3

Sew the resulting segments from the wrong side along the perimeter, leaving one side not stitched along the width. Turn the sewn bag inside out and iron all seams.

Step 4

Now you need to fix the weighting agent, which can be used as a wooden plank or a metal twig.

The weighting agent acts as a bracing, thanks to which the curtain looks perfectly smooth and does not bulge to the sides.

The length of the plank should not exceed the width of the curtain. The weighting agent must be placed at the bottom of the resulting "bag" - curtains and stitched on top so that it does not roll down when the roller blinds are raised.

Step 5

Attach the other end of the curtain to a pre-prepared wooden block using a stapler. The bar is completely covered with a cloth so that it is not visible.

You can abandon the stapler and make a curtain with a fastener (hooks, zippers, rivets, Velcro), then the curtain can be easily changed to a new one or removed for washing.

Step 6

Garters ready. This is where your imagination comes into play. They can be made from the same material as the curtains, or you can take a completely different fabric.

Now let's determine the length of the curtain. To do this, measure the distance from the roller to the window sill. Add twenty centimeters to the result.
Now make a curtain pattern. Measure on the fabric the width and length that you got when measuring. Cut out the resulting rectangle. There should be two such rectangular segments.
Fold the segments front side inside and sew on three sides. Should be a bag.
Turn the resulting bag inside out and iron with an iron.
Let's move on to fixing the weighting agent. Its length should correspond to the width of the curtain. This is necessary so that the roller blinds do not hang on the plastic window. Fasten the weighting agent, tuck the fabric and sew, stepping back five millimeters from it.
Now we need to prepare the tapes. With their help, the curtain will hang in a folded state. From the fabric, cut a ribbon eight centimeters wide. And the length of the ribbon depends on the height of the window and is calculated using the following formula: 2 * the height of the window opening + 30.
Fold the resulting ribbon lengthwise, right side inward and sew. Then the tape must be turned out, ironed and sewn up. open side. Do-it-yourself roller blinds are ready.
