Roman curtains provide a lot of space for creativity: you can always decorate them with a variety of bows, fringes, ruffles and other such things. Everything depends on the interior of the kitchen and, of course, on your wishes.

Choosing the fabric from which Roman curtains are made, first look at its practicality and functionality, and then on the appearance. This is explained by the fact that the kitchen is a place where food is constantly prepared, which means that the fat settles. However, for the right fabric, this is not a problem, because it is easily wiped off.

Sometimes Roman curtains in the kitchen are combined with tulle (as in the following photos).

How to sew Roman curtains in the kitchen with their own hands

It is not always possible to find ready-made curtains of the color you need, but, fortunately, it is possible to sew Roman blinds yourself.

So, we need the following materials:

• the right fabric and lining;
• pins of metal or wood (you need about eight pieces);
• Velcro tape (the same length as the curtain width);
• hooks and carnations;
• a wooden bar that allows you to hang curtains, as well as a weighting bar;
• cord;
• plastic rings.

Below you can see a diagram that allows you to calculate how much tissue you need.

First, to the measurements of the window opening, add 5 cm to the side seams and about 15 cm from the top and bottom. Using the table below, calculate how many folds you need on the curtain and what size they will be.

Stages of work when sewing Roman curtains with their own hands:

1. On the wrong side of the fabric, indicate where there will be turns, wrinkles and rings. Mark all this according to the scheme.
2. It's time to start sewing. Sew the sides of the fabric.
3. Attach the Velcro to the bottom of the timber from the tree, using a furniture stapler or carnations. Top the curtains and attach a velcro to it, which is left. Thanks to this you can remove the curtains easily.
4. Turn the fabric at the bottom of the curtains so that a pocket is formed (subsequently, a weighting agent will be inserted into it).
5. Sew a fringe for finishing to the wrong part of the fabric. It turned out peculiar pockets, in which you need to insert the slats.
6. Using the table below, mark the location of the rings on the curtains and sew them with your own hands.
7. Attach the curtains to the bar (velcro will help). Fasten the fastening part of the cord to the window frame. Next, the cord should be wrapped around the frame, in order for the curtain to be fixed. Route the cord through the ring and tie a knot on its lower part.
8. Now the cord must be passed through all the rings to the very top of the curtains. Do the same with all rings until all the cords are on the same side of the curtains (see the diagram below). Now we have creases: they need to be fixed (ribbons will help in this).
9. Then attach the timber from the tree to the window frame. Ribbons that hold the curtain can be removed. After that, you should connect the cords to the node. Now thread the cords through the handle that raises the curtains, and measure 46 cm from the first knot. After that, you need to tie a knot and cut off the ends.
10. The part that fastens the cord, fix on the window frame and around it wind the cord to fix the curtains.

That's all! The product is ready! You can see how Roman curtains, sewn by their own hands, looks on the windows in the following photos.
