    The seams you are describing (enclosing one of the raw edges with the other seam allowance folded over) actually is called a "flat felled seam" in traditional sewing. It's a technique most often used for seams that will get a lot of wear, not just to make something reversible.

      But yes dress makers will know it as a flat felled!

    If I were a guest in your house I would love to be surrounded by these beautiful curtains. This is just what I need in our lounge room as the sun comes in in the afternoon and is in our eyes. Curtains like this would take the glare away. Beautiful.

    Hi Em, Bravo on making your version of these curtains, I love the light coming thru them I'm sure they'll last a long time (due to style seam) and bring fond memories. The seam you are describing is a french or flat-felled seam, and the cutting wheel is called a "rotary cutter" they come in 28, 45 and 60 cm sizes. We learn from each other, thank you for sharing these... I had never seen this made into curtains before

    I just found you. I had seen curtains made similar to this, only using 2 inch squares, but putting them together was the same. I could never find that tutorial again. Thank you for doing this. I have 17 Windows and French doors in my sewing room and wanted to make curtains for them like this. My room was a sun room, so I plan to line them...I will be subscribing. I am 74 and have been sewing all of my adult, but just really got into.quilting a couple years ago. Gloria from NE Tennessee...

    Absolutely beautiful! You explain very well and I love your style! At the very end when you showed the room with all your curtains up, all I could do was smile! Thank you for the inspiration and lesson!!! 💚🧡💙❤️🤍

    I watched your room reveal, then came to see the curtains being made.
    Wow, wow, wow.
    A lot of work, so kudos on that. I had never heard of or seen the concept, but they turned out beautiful.

    Great, very basic, non-quilter video (quilters know how to sew pieces together). I learned this joining, or similar, as a French seam. Thank you for sharing.

    • @tamaracherkashina525

    I love your curtains! I thought this was jogakbo? I made curtains like this using old box of 4” quilt squares I received from an old quilters attic. So of course the materials were all mixed and the patterns retro! I absolutely love the light coming through some squares and not others. To me this is a functional artwork. It look me so long but the result soooo worth it. I call them my boho curtains!

    @lainey3809 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I actually made similar curtains for my guest room in Florida. They were beautiful but they got faded very fast ! If I made again I would have to line them to prevent that. The sun will definitely fade out those beautiful colors very quickly and it's soul destroying after all your hard work.

    Hi from South Africa 🇿🇦 I was wanting to make a patchwork jacket but didn't want it lined, like a light throw, this technique would work wonderfully and make it reversible. Think it's a French seem, but could be wrong 😂. Thanks for tutorial.

  • @Amritadivya54
    @Amritadivya54 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I know you said that you had bought linen and cotton fabric for your curtains, but what type? Did you look for fabric that allowed some light to come through regardless as to the name of the fabric? Thank you for not using silk! It does not hold up well in a sunny window and will eventually decompose. Great tutorial for someone who seems like a new sewist! Looking forward to more great videos to come!

    • @Emma_Rae
      @Emma_Rae  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      the linen was just plain flax linen (light weight pre-softened). and the cotton fabric I used was a double gauze, which I think added a nice bubbly texture. and yes, I'm very much just a tenacious hobbies who tries her best with new sewing projects! :)

      Actually a flat felled seam. Does a similar job as french seam but both sides are sewn to make a perfectly flat seam.
