DIY anthropologie knock off flutter curtains

January 12, 2012

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

This isn’t a surprise to you, but my “Repurposed” entry for So You Think You Can Sew Week 2 is the flutter curtains (they’re a knock off of Anthropologie’s Tender Falls Shower Curtain).

I’ll be honest, every time I do an Anthropologie knock off, I feel like I should start my tutorial with a Big Ol’ Disclaimer. These knock-off’s, while fabulous, are a ton of work. And these curtains are no exception.

With that warning, if you want to make some fluttery, lovely, slightly labor intensive curtains, here’s the how-to.

You’ll need– two Ikea “Knoppa” flat sheets (for the curtain panels), another Knoppa sheet cut into circle ‘flutters,’ part of a cream colored sheet, cut into circle ‘flutters,’ and part of another bright white sheet (with a different texture than the linen-y Knoppa) cut into circle ‘flutters,’ a fabric cutter and a circle die (optional, but nice… I used the GoBaby! to cut out all of those circles), invisible thread and needle, sewing supplies.

First sew the curtains panels. To do so, first fold your sheet in half , right sides facing each other. Make sure the bottom hem’s finished edge matches up and pin and sew up the vertical edge. Turn right side in.

T

Then measure the length from your curtain rod to the floor to find your finished length. Iron over the top edge to match your finished length. Make a curtain rod casing by turning the extra fabric under (I had to cut some off first) and make a ‘tube’ on the top edge with a finished seam (because you turned that extra fabric under and pinned and sewed in place). Optional– Fold and press your curtain in half and in half again and sew along those pressed-in-places lines. This divides the curtain up nicely and gave me good ‘markers,’ but if you’re good at eyeballing space, you might not need this step.

Sew a row of ruffles along the top of the curtain, matching up with the bottom of the curtain rod casing.

To make my flutters, I folded each circle (you use SO MANY circles for this project!) in half, then in half again. I pulled my needle through the point and then back down through the quartered circle and the curtain fabric- just once on most of the flutters, but sometimes twice.

I also used my ‘guide’ lines to divide my panels up into fifths. Before filling the top 20″ with ruffles, I sewed three vertical lines of ruffles in place. Then, I filled in each block, one at a time (using the same flutter method I described above).

Make sure you use a mix of circles to get that haphazard, fluttery look. Add more spaced out flutters on the bottom three quarters of the panel, and you’re finished!

I love having these curtains in the living room, but I think they’d be dreamy in a Master bedroom, or even in a nursery. And if you decide to take this project on (especially after I warned you about how they’re a little fussy), would you send pictures over? I’d love to see your take on them!

    I have been logging in twice a day for the past 4 days to see whether the tutorial was up yet :)) I love, love the way you’ve made these. I am planning to make these for my living room . But I have one small doubt, Do you think the ruffles will retain their look after a wash ?
    You are an amazing seamstress – I voted for you yesterday on SYTYCS . Wishing you the best of luck for the rest of the contest

      Shireen, this comment made me laugh (and blush!). Thanks for being so patient!
      The wash makes me nervous too. Two thoughts- first, you could use jersey that won’t fray as your flutters (maybe even a jersey sheet since you need so many)! My other thought is that the whole thing is kind of ‘raw’ anyway. I made them white so that I can bleach them if I have to. And I figure the frays will just add to the charm. Hopefully I’m right because it is not a small endeavor. 🙂
      Good luck! Please send pictures over when you’re done!
      love

        Kirstin,

        Will definitely post you the pics once I do it. Thank you so much for the tute!

        I wasn’t thinking about the fraying – I was wondering whether the ruffles would get flattened /wrinkled over after a wash. After so much effort , if those ruffles get ruined , I am sure I would cry ! Do you have any suggestions , any special way – maybe a dry clean ? I am a very beginner sewer , this would take me days n days to do 🙂 , so please don’t mind if I ask stupid questions .

        Thank you,
        Shireen

    Wow! It’s gorgeous, but looks soooo time consuming!!!! I want to try, but have a question or two first. It looks (and sounds like) you sewed the flutters on by hand. Is that correct? Would it work to use a sewing machine (I hate sewing by hand!)? Or did you try that first with disastrous results?

      January 12, 2012 at 7:44 pm

      You are right on all counts- yes, I did sew them all by hand and yes, it was oh-my-goodness time consuming!
      Please try it with a sewing machine and let me know if it works. Hopefully there is a way to do this faster!!! 🙂

    Those curtains are amazing and beautiful. I really love them, and can just imagine them on the window in my guest bedroom.

    …but, that tutorial!!! It inspired me to learn to love the “no curtain” look I currently have, or just throw up a plain sheet! Cause there is no way I could ever do that!

    Very inspired by your curtains! I also have been drooling over Anthro’s shower curtain but cringe at the price! SO, I’m going to buck up and attempt to make these! However, I absolutely hate sewing (on a machine) so I thought maybe I could buy some white curtains and just hand sew on the little petals, think that would work?
    Thanks for the inspiration!

    Ahhh ! I’m so EXCITED. I’ve been looking for curtain ideas and they are friggen’ fantastic girl ! wowza.
    Question : Did you cut all those little circles out by hand? (I’m sweating already…)
    I have 4, 7 foot windown in my living room, I’m going to attempt this look, except since I’m a newbie at sewing I’ll be hot glueing. May work, I will keep you posted ! 🙂
    (It may look a tad different, but I made a coffee filter lamp shade the hot glueing way and it looks “fluffy” 😉
    Thanks SO much for sharing with us !

    Hi, so I am braving this project and finally have all of my circles cut. I am now ready to sew them on but they don’t seem to stand up like yours do, they just kind of flop over. Im not sure that Im sewing them on right. Could you please explain to a newby sewer how to sew them on in a little more detail. I would greatly appreciate it!

    Thanks so much!

      Hey Shawnie! I love it that you’re braving this project!
      Ok, so I folded my circles in fourths. On most of them, I just stitched right through the folded point, but if you’re needing them to stand up more, you could also bring your thread through the point horizontally (going threw the fold) as well. The difference might be our fabric choices- some fabrics hold their shape much better than others.
      If you try the double stitching, will you let me know if that worked???

          February 7, 2012 at 4:47 pm

          No, just the ones that were spaced out at the bottom. The close together ones at the top are all sewn in one line (until I ran out of thread, and then I just started a new line).

      I used one of their Knoppa flat sheets… I think those are twins (they don’t come in different sizes- they’re the 3.99 ones).
      Also, I have no idea on circles. Hundreds for sure. I think I used almost another whole Ikea sheet in circles, plus part of an ivory vintage one.
      Hope that helps! 🙂

    I love your tutorial! I was hoping you could answer a couple of questions for me because I am trying to make them myself! What are the measurements for the circles you used and about how far apart did they place them? (if you have any idea, what is the ratio of larger circles to smaller ones?) Thank you so much

    • Kirstin says

      June 4, 2013 at 9:38 am

      Hey Darcy, it’s quite the project, isn’t it? I used about three times more small circles (about 1.5″ in diameter) than larger ones (about 2.5″ in diameter). At the top of the curtain, they are placed really close together (the stitches are right next to each other) and then they space out as the flutters space out.
      Hope that helps!

        Thanks! Yes, it does help. I’m thinking that I would need to do the same thing– put a shade behind them of some kind. Maybe a pull shade/roll shade. I actually prefer the sheerness, but I know that my husband will want them to be solid.

    Stunning!

    This is probably way beyond my ability level, but I’m curious if the Knoppa curtain is pure white/bright white or whether it’s a big off white. I know the IKEA website says “white”, but it doesn’t look stark to me. Thanks!

      Marie, it isn’t stark white, probably because the thread count is low enough that it’s a little sheer. The fabric itself is probably white, though.

    I cant sew with a sewing machine. I dont even have one and as much as my ideals of crafty womanliness are challenged by it, the fact is I have not the least bit of interest in acquiring one. I can sew by hand well enough. So I was wondering if you had any suggestions on how I might create these dreamy fluttery curtains without one.

      September 15, 2013 at 3:11 pm

      Marcy- almost all of this is hand sewing (all of the flutters). To make without a sewing machine, I would buy a pair of basic white linen curtains and sew on the flutters as directed in the tutorial. Hope that helps!

    Hi, I love this curtains and have started making some myself. My friends and family think I’m crazy as they are going to take a long time but I find it very relaxing and winter is coming ha ha. I am also a lazy reader and am just using your images as instructions!! Thank you

    I’m way into these curtains and want to attempt doing them but i don’t understand the first half of the instructions. what side are you folding them? why are you folding and sewing? Is it so the curtains are thicker and more opaque? Also, what was the diameter of your circles?

    Reply
    • Kirstin says

      November 5, 2013 at 4:15 pm

      Yes, folding and sewing to give them more weight.
      I think the circles were 1.5″

        What are the final dimensions of your curtains? I swear I saw that posted earlier, but for the life of me, I can’t find it. PS: MAJOR set back since I’m finally getting to do them. lol

          Leslie, I don’t know (and the curtains aren’t accessible right now or I’d measure them for you). If I remember correctly, it was a twin sheet folded in half for each curtain? Sorry!

    I love your creative idea, have you considered tacking the flutter with the sewing machine ? it would move things a bit faster.
