A folded blind will have a minimum height of 28 cm. Make sure it will not block the opening of your window once placed.
In this case you will need the right amount of fabric. Here is how to have the right amout of meters:
1. To have to right amount of plain fabric
Multiply by 2 the finished width of your window ( to have a nice depth). Divide this measurement by the width of the chosen fabric and you will get the number of strips needed.
Add 30cm to your measurement to make the hem.
Multiply the height with the number of strips.
EXAMPLE :
“The width of my curtain rod/rail mesures 1,80m and the finished height of my curtain mesures 2,80m. I chose a plain fabric that has a width of 1,40m, to make my curtain.“
2. To have to right amount of printed fabric
Multiply by 2 the finished width of your window ( to have a nice depth). Divide this measurement by the width of the chosen fabric and you will get the number of strips needed.
Add 30cm to your measurement to make the hem. Divide this measurement by the match of your fabric. You get a number: take the decimal above and multiply this number by the match.
EXAMPLE :
“The width of the curtain rod/rail mesures 1,80m and the finished height of my curtain mesures 2,80m. I chose a fabric with prints and a width of 1,40m to make my curtain. The match is 36cm.”
Add 10cm to the finished width to make the hem.
Add 60cm to your measurement to put the sticks through.
EXAMPLE :
“The width of my blind measures 1,30m and the finished height is 1,30m. I chose a fabric with prints and a width of 1,40m.”
