To give the interior newness and a touch of chic,it is not necessary to buy too expensive fabric for sewing, for example, new curtains or to replace furniture cover. You can apply an unusual technique for creating bulk products - puffs. Consider how you can use this decor element.
The article describes how to get elegant and unique curtains and bedspreads. Pouf in each given example differ in appearance and, accordingly, in manufacturing technology.
The main distinguishing feature when performingalmost all types of this decorative element - a 2-2.5 times increase in fabric consumption. This is due to the lush assembly and corrugation. By the same principle, the “Pokrylo” master class presented below is also implemented. The puffs of this not very assembled product turned out to be two times smaller in width than the original fabric. And in cases of dense weaving you need to have a triple stock of material. The markup is done from the inside. If the pattern is collected on the face, then usually the places of adhesion are decorated with beads or bunches of beads.
To carry out the work you need to strictly accordingdrawings of the ornament. Most patterns include a purl seam fabric. In this case, the most accurate puffs are obtained. A master class, as a rule, is always accompanied by an appropriate scheme. It is transferred to the fabric, which is pre-lined in squares. Experienced needlewomen skip this moment and are content only with points moved from the drawings by punctures and marks with the direction of movement. The main secret of the work lies in the skillful alternate tensioning of the threads and the beautiful drape of the fabric.
Let us analyze how this most commonly used ornament is executed:
1. Mark the canvas from the wrong side into squares with a side of 3 cm.
2. Apply oblique lines, passing the cells in a strict alternation (see diagram).
3. Start work from the leftmost vertical row, moving zigzag.
4. Pierce the fabric in place of the first fold and secure with a stitch.
5. Make a second puncture at the end of the line, pull the thread and secure it with a second puncture.
6. Skip the free cells and place the thread on them, without pulling, until the next marked strip. Repeat the step of pulling.
7. In the same way, go through all the rows, connecting the fabric only in those places where it is marked according to the scheme.
Perhaps you do not plan to completely replace allinterior elements. Or, for example, the curtains look pretty decent, but boring. What to do in this case? Decorate the canvas with removable parts. To do this, take a strip corresponding to the color of the fabric, having a length equal to the width of the curtain. When cutting you need to take into account the technology of sewing. This lush finish is best done double, so that the internal seams do not have to handle. As a rule, the backing in the transverse dimension in the finished form is usually no less than 15-20 cm. Hence, it must be cut to a width of about 30-45 cm. Finishing is sewn along the lower edge of the curtain. Puffs are obtained by assembling in 12-15 cm. The combination of this decorative element with others looks very original - contrast fabric, lace, etc.
For an unusual window decoration with fluffy short curtains, it is very simple to make beautiful puffs on them. The master class described below is presented as an example instruction:
1. Measure the window to determine the width and desired length of the curtains.
2. Make the necessary calculations. For pomp you need to take a triple width and a triple height from the original.
3. If necessary, make the connection of the fabric cuts along vertical lines.
4. Stitch the curtains on all sides, decorating the upper part to fasten to the eaves.
5. Mark the vertical lines on the seamy side along which the puffs will be collected. In these places, at regular intervals (approximately 20-25 cm), attach narrow bodice.
6. Insert into them through from the top to the bottom thin ribbons, at the same time collecting fabric and forming beautiful folds.
7. After obtaining the necessary forms, secure the inlays on the inside, cutting off the extra length.
In this case, it is not entirely appropriateapplication of some technologies. After all, you see, decorating furniture with elements with very luxurious assemblies is not very practical. More successful will be the creation of an almost smooth surface, but with significant protuberances. To do this, prepare the material for the top, for lush sanding and foundations.
Work can be done in two ways:direct covering of furniture cover finishing or making a separate canvas and its further fixing. And how are puffs made? Doing it yourself will need to be done separately by squeezing the fluffy layers. Usually for this purpose large decorative buttons or pieces of fabric rolled up in several layers are used. Therefore, it is still better to choose the first option - fixing the canvas on the furniture surface with the creation of lush puff in the required places.
The use of some decorative elements allows you to create a unique interior design. But always remember that the feeling of taste and measure never hurts. Good luck and creative ideas!
