How I manipulate natural fabrics (silk dupioni and cotton cheesecloth in this case) with heat and water to create realistic 1:12th scale curtains. You can use these techniques to make ANY style of curtains you like, have a search through pinterests plethora of ideas! Or, if you are less confident, copy mine. Let me know what you think or if you have any questions. 💕 Happy mini making guys!

From Normandy: it was a delight to take a lesson from you about making these very styled curtains and drapes. Also appreciated a lot your lesson about "how making a chandelier" : they are fine ! Bravissimo for both tiny wonders. Thanks to you. katherine

@polly1188 3 года назад

Hi I've just stumbled across your brilliant vid, I've spent a lot of time and fabric trying to get realistic miniature window dressings never quite knowing where to stick the pins never quite knowing swags or pelmet never quite knowing what I'm doing wrong, so thanks to you is a bit clearer, my eye tell me I can do this lol they have told me that before. Thank you for sharing. Come back soon.

@homemadehermits 3 года назад

Im so glad my video is useful to you. Im sure you will do a great job! 👍😊

@maneeratromtrairat174 3 года назад

@chimpalienbaby7312 3 года назад

This is a fantastic tutorial, thank you so much! You are exceptionally talented!! What type of super-glue do you use, I’ve never seen brush on super-glue before?

@AbiNomac 3 года назад

I was enjoying this then I saw something I’m doing a double take on. Did you make a cuppa tea from the same tea water you dyed your fabric?

@homemadehermits 3 года назад

Haha good spotting! 😆👍

@lickthismiff 3 года назад

Beautiful work! Did you fix the silk with anything or is it all just the water/heat process keeping it in shape?

@homemadehermits 3 года назад

You can use a spray fixative, but try it out on a scrap piece first to make sure it doesn't stain. I don't bother though. The creases stay just fine in my experience 😊👍

@terrismith60 3 года назад

Where can we see pics of your beautiful dollhouse! In love.

@homemadehermits 3 года назад

Thanks! My instagram is @homemadehermits and @thehermitisback 😁

@helenburgess8839 3 года назад

I enjoyed this twice. I'm more contemporary but your process should work for me. How often do you burn your fingers? Thank you

@homemadehermits 3 года назад

Hahaha a lot! Actually you can see if you watch super carefully at one point I kinda flinch 😆 I made some contemporary style curtains for a lady without the tieback and swag, I stitched silver rings to the top so they could hang directly from the rail 👍

@rose1151997 3 года назад

Love it what kind of fabric did you use?

@homemadehermits 3 года назад

Silk dupioni and cheesecloth 😊👍

@dodieyates4186 2 года назад

I would like to buy some already made ones from you... do you sell?

@PilotCristina Год назад

Where did you get the rods from?

@homemadehermits Год назад

Made them from brass rods and beads, then spray painted 👍

@rose1151997 3 года назад

What glue are you using

@homemadehermits 3 года назад

Mostly almost dried superglue, it goes gooey and gel like and is less likely to stain your fabric. And I used a bit of pva (white) glue to stick the cheesecloth on towards the end

@victoriaarnold1548 2 года назад

I tried to copy but my silk frayed and wouldn't fold with the iron !

@homemadehermits 2 года назад

Hi Victoria, are you sure its 100% silk? A dupioni silk should crease like crazy and if its good quality/high thread count it shouldn't fray too much either if your reasonably gentle. I also found it creases best in one direction but not quite so easily in the other (90 degrees) if that makes sense. Sorry difficult to help over text 😬. I'd say keep experimenting, theres always more than one way of getting the results you want! Good luck ❤😊

@cannoliboutique2337 3 года назад

I am actually Blooms Village on Instagram 🙈🤭😊

@homemadehermits 3 года назад

Haha oh I didn't think of that! Things may get confusing around here 😆💕

@miaandersen8731 2 года назад

Tell me you did not drink the tea from the silk dying 🙃 fabric is treated with crazy chemicals (sizes) before being sold.

@Linda-kb3ko 2 года назад

Do you work in the drapery industry to know how to do this?

@homemadehermits 2 года назад

No, I was taught to sew by my gran when I was little, but I just figured these curtains out through trial and error 😊👍

@PhilGregoryFX Год назад

Great video, but I had to watch it in silence due to the chronic background music that I found particuarly painful, and also quite inappropriate for this type of content. Shame about the background music choice and the lack of a voiceover, which would have helped a lot.

@laurawhigham8492 5 месяцев назад

Ah! The wonderful mute button ❤ I use it in so many videos.
