Refresh Your Bedroom Decor By Sewing A Straight Line
If you can sew a straight line, then you can redecorate your bedroom. Just by finding some great fabric you can transform your bedroom into an oasis. You can create a number of bedroom accessories by just sewing a straight line. Pick fabrics and patterns that work well together, and create your own look with bedding and curtains.
Straight Line Drapes.
Get started by measuring your windows. To decide how long your curtains should be, measure from the curtain rod to the floor, and then add the depth of the pocket plus ½ inch and the hem plus ½ inch. To determine how wide you want your fabric to be, measure the width of your window and add six inches, and this will make one curtain panel. Each window will need two panels. As you choose your fabric, notice the direction of the print on the fabric, and make sure that it will orient in the room correctly.
As you prepare your panel, first hem the sides of each panel. With the right side facing down, fold one-half inch of fabric towards you and iron. Then fold 1 and ½ inches of fabric towards you to make the hem and iron in place. Now sew a straight line down each edge of each panel to hem. On the top edge, fold over ½ inch and iron, and then fold over a pocket for curtain rod. You will then iron and sew another straight line on each panel. Move to the bottom hem and fold over ½ inch and iron, and then fold over the width of the hem and iron again. Sew your straight line across the bottom hem of each panel, and your curtain panels are completed. It is really that simple.
Straight Line Table Skirting.
To dress up your bedside table, you can cover it with a table skirt. Find a fabric that complements the curtains that you just completed. Give your room a less cluttered look by using a table skirt to hide items beneath the table. Simply cut the fabric to size, turn under the hem and sew.
Straight Line Dust Ruffle.
Now you can dress up your bed with a bed skirt and hide your under bed storage bins and your unsightly box spring mattress. To make your bed skirt measure the length and width of your bed, and add an inch to each side. Use an old flat sheet to make the base of the skirt. Now measure from the top of the box spring to the floor in order to get the height of the bedskirt and then add an surplus inch for hemming. You need to cut three lengths in your bed skirt: one each for the right side, left side, and the foot of the bed; be sure to allow a one inch seam to connect the pieces.
Now sew the three pieces together and fold under the hem. Iron and sew the hem next. Affix the bedskirt to a flat sheet, taking care to line up the corner seams with the corners of the sheet. If you prefer to leave the bed skirt panels open, then you can hem each side before attaching.
Now that you’ve sewn a straight line to totally new bedroom, you can complete your new look with a stylish copper wall sculpture, wood art wall decor or any style of metal artwork that suits your style.
