What is the SMAD?
Those who are new to the process of selecting new curtains are often asked the question "What is the SMAD?". SMAD - is one of the elements which can be decorated curtains, namely addition to pelmets (the upper part), its drape special way. He looks like a half-circle on which are located the folds. It consists of a head and shoulders (some call them wings).
Curtains can look like a work of art, if SMAD will be used to create them.
Depth - is the degree of its slack length - it is the length that this element takes on the ledge. Next is the middle part - the middle of the ledge. Leverage - is part of a drapery folds and other tissues. Even during the preparation of the pattern is found the concept of "slack" (the second name - "depth"), this is the length to which the lower part can fall from the top. Usually the difficulty is to correctly put it, but if you do everything right, then they will be a real highlight in the style of your room.
If you imagine the exquisite expensive drapes, it is likely that they will be adorned with lambrequins SMAD.
SMAD used as decorative component for sewing elegant and luxurious curtains.
Activities: what are they?
equilateral SMAD
Usually, one is required in the case if the curtains will be other elements of decor, as it does not overload the track and looks symmetrical, his shoulders are the same.
SMAD used to decorate the window opening.
In order to accelerate the process of sewing, you can use ready-made patterns. List of basic parameters that must be considered when tailoring SMAD with equal sides:
- Mid;
- Shoulder;
- Depth;
- The length of the lower slack.
It is part of the horizontal soft pelmet, which is designed to impart Interior refined and refined appearance.
asymmetrical SMAD
In this species, the shoulders will be different: one is wider and the other narrower.
Despite the fact that the SMAD considered an integral part of the classical style, it does not mean that they are not used in other stylistic directions.
We describe how to cut out to calculate the parameters of SMAD. To construct this element you can choose the fabric size of 140 * 140, then divide this piece of chalk in half diagonally. After that, the two sides need to hold the line, which will be equal to half the length of the element, making it perpendicular. At the ends of the resulting line set point and point №1 №2.
Proper selection of colors and textures to help spice up a room decorated in Art Nouveau style, and even high-tech, bringing its share of the avant-garde.
Important! Be sure to take into account the allowances to then process the edge (about 05, - 1 cm).
At an angle of 15 degrees from points 1 and 2 need to delay segments that the length will be the same as SMAD shoulder (if not trust the eye estimation, using a protractor). At the endpoints need to put an end point №3 and №4.
"SMAD" translated to English means "garland" or "ornament in the form of leaves."
At the very diagonally to cancel sag depth (let it be noted as point A), the arc connecting the points A and 3, as well as points A and 4. Pattern is ready.
SMAD own hands: how to make a pattern? Step by step description
Tailoring of the element - the process is quite complex and multifaceted. To master the art of sewing and become a professional in this can take considerable time, but for the novice seamstresses and lovers there are simpler methods that can be used to sew the curtains.
It runs in a semicircle, hanging free, and consists of a beautiful draped folds.
Should not be afraid, because of the instructions of this easy method to sew these curtains everyone can. The whole point is that you can make not only the classic SMAD, but also easier to manufacture - mechanical. Its peculiarity is that folds can be done not by hand, and resorted to a ruse, and use a mounting bindings, or you can find such a name as curtain tape. When this difference is the option of whether it was created manually is practically impossible. Therefore, this alternative is not inferior to the classical method. So, a small master class on making an equilateral SMAD.
In one pelmets several SMAD may be used simultaneously, which are arranged as if overlapped on each other.
Often between them need to sew an additional decorative item that will fill the space with.
Options:
These elements are sewn standard height of 35 cm and a width of 60. These dimensions may vary slightly, depending on the window size and the desired effect. We will be on the following parameters:
- length 90 cm;
- depth of 45 cm;
- lower slack 140 cm.
SMAD not always have the same width, e.g., the central element can be smaller than the side portions.
From these measurements it appears that:
A - half (its middle) - 15cm
B - depth - 45 cm
B - shoulder - 30cm
D - the lower half of the slack - 70cm
Located at various heights from the eaves, they they form a two-tiered composition.
How big will your SMAD, you can decide on their own, little by editing the pattern.
Create a pattern to sew SMAD
The first thing you need to build an angle with vertex (1). From it right you need to postpone the cut, which is equal to half of the middle + 3 cm for processing. 18 cm is obtained. The second end of this segment will be a point №4. Further, also from the point №1 measure out a segment whose length is equal to the depth parameter multiplied by k, where k is 2 - 2.5.
Creating SMAD quite troublesome and laborious exercise, but there are easy and simple options, such as "shell".
Additional Information! This figure depends on the chosen fabric, if we work with a dry cloth, which is hard enough for drapery, it is best that this figure was equal to 2. But if the fabric is soft and easy to drape, it is best to in this case, k is equal to 2.5.
Drape a similar option on forces even novice seamstresses. He received such name because of the similarity with sea shells.
The next step in terms of the two draw a circle. Instead, you can use a string compass, attaching it to the point №1. After that, the resulting arc from point №2 №3 point mark. it should be in the lower half of the slack, and, of course, do not forget about the extra 3 cm for processing. Interconnectable point №3 and №4 straight line and an angle, which is obtained at the point 4, a little while rounded. As a result of this work, we get a figure (1-2-3-4) - it will be the basis of our patterns. Pritochku mounting tape will do the line 1-4-3 and 4-3 tie at the site. Mid (1-4) is not contracted, only processed.
There are several variations of this element for the decoration of window openings, each of which has its twist and characterized hallmarks.
Normally this element sewn on the lining, but using a soft cloth, you can do without it. So we have prepared a half pattern.
SMAD are various designs, including duplex.
Additional Information! In this case, you can cut at an angle of 45 degrees, and it is possible for the warp threads, it is even more convenient.
This type is located in a horizontal plane relative to the entire fabric curtains at the same height.
When Sew, process side, which lies between 2 and 3 using the bike or double slanting progibku. For those parties who will be sewn curtain tape (1-4-3), the seam allowance folded the inside out, and then ironed. On the wrong side curtain tapes do pritochku. 4-3 contractible side and middle (1-4) do not leave tightened. Now the pattern is ready!
In such a model may also be asymmetrically laid shoulders.
With the transition to the de frill
Curtains can be made even more unusual and original, if we use the technique of transition in de frill. This option can replace just two components pelmet, moreover, avoids the primitive and boring designs.
Due to the presence of such an element, you can create decorative designs of curtains, giving the room sophistication and elegance.
Accordingly, the pattern will consist of two parts: a pattern SMAD, which will be put in charge of the pattern to de frill. Let's get started.
Choose for this element a material must be very carefully, because it affects the whole appearance of the resulting composition.
- Build a pattern SMAD. In the preceding paragraphs we have already seen how to make a pattern for the asymmetric and ordinary member.
- Is attached to this pattern, the element de frill. How to make a pattern for him? Look on.
- On the perpendicular to the fold of tissue aB point G1 note distance G1D, it will be equal to the length of the finished element de frill the ledge with the folds.
- From point A to the perpendicular line G1D and it is metered height of de frill (the figure is the point PT1)
- It only remains to draw the line slack.
If you aspire to fold SMAD is soft, then stop your choice on the matter, which is easy to drape.
Pattern SMAD with a move to de frill ready!
