Drapery hanging question - pinch pleats on rings
Comments (20)I ended up posting my compeleted drapes in a separate thread which I will link below and may answer some of the recent questions above. brutuses: annz is correct. I bought mine at Calico Corners for $7 ea. Just simple white ones that I clipped into the last ring along with the end hook. princesssusan: I am no expert, but can just tell you what I ended up doing and observed by looking at other similar treatments at Calico Corners where I bought my custom ones for my LR/DR. I put a ring in each pleat plus one at either end. budge1: My drapes are from JCP, Supreme, pinch pleated drapes in Silver Sage. I just checked the website and I don't find the colors to be very accurate so if you have a Penneys nearby, I'd check there for the color. I picked them out in the store, but it was a catalog order. See: http://www2.jcpenney.com/jcp/ProductsHOM.aspx?DeptID=25437&CatID=28503&CatTyp=DEP&ItemTyp=G&GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=130d3d2&ProdSeq=1&Cat=pinch+pleat&Dep=Window&PCat=Drapes&PCatID=28498&RefPage=ProductList&Sale=&ProdCount=17&RecPtr=&ShowMenu=&TTYP=&ShopBy=0amp;RefPageName=CategoryAll%252Easpx&RefCatID=28498&RefDeptID=25437&Page=1&CmCatId=25437:28498:28503 As for the sheers, they are called: Lisette Pinch-pleated sheers in soft gold. I think they may be discontinued now as I didn't see them when I checked the website, though saw this: http://www2.jcpenney.com/jcp/Products.aspx?ItemID=13aea97&ItemTyp=G&GrpTyp=SIZ&ShowMenu=T&ShopBy=0amp;SearchString=Lisette&RefPage=SearchDepartment.aspx&CmCatId=SearchResults&Search1Prod=True Again, I'd check with your local Penneys.

Comments (10)Update! Today during lunch I went to Hancock Fabrics and boy was the lady there, MaryJo helpful. I took my roll of fabric with me because I wanted to know how much yardage I had and prayed they had this material still in stock or had not been discontinued. She measured and I only had 5 yards and she checked the store and they had it but only two yards so she ordered me 6.75 yards which will be arrive in the next 10 days. The repeat of the fabric is every 18 inches because of the pattern. This is what she calculated based on my window measurements I gave her: my window width: 73" the fabric is 54 inches wide I will need 3 - 3 yards of each 54 width where I will divide one and sew each half to each of the two 54 width; this will give my two panel a length of 108 inches (3 yds times 36 is 108) This will also allow for my 8 inches on top and 8 inches on the bottom giving me the final length I want at 86. The width across for each panel will be 81 (54 plus 27 (1/2 of 54) equals 81. My window is 73 inches wide so 73 divided by 2 equals 36.5 or 37¡Kthis is the magic number when I start to pleat. When I pleat them I will have to ensure the finished width will be 36.5 or 37 I also went to Borders and brought a sewing book called ¡§The Complete Photo Guide To Sewing¡¨ which has 1100 Full-Color How-To Photos and on page 226 ¡V Pinch Pleated Draperies are fully illustrated with all the instructions. The book is by Singer and I only paid $3.00 for it because it is used but in good condition. So what do you all think? Does all this information sounds like MaryJo has put me on the right track? Can I do this? MaryJo said I could º She told me to just take my time¡Kif I get frustrated just walk away and come back. When I finish I will take pictures. This book is awesome¡Kit has so much info on how to make just about anything for the home especially cornice boards which I truly love. So if anyone needs to know anything just let me know and I will look it up, make copies and provide º God gave me the gift of sewing and I need to use it!...See MoreInverted Pleat Drapery - Sewing Assistance
Comments (2)I believe the pleats on the back are flattened out - an inverted box pleat, not pinch pleat. Check the following link: Here is a link that might be useful: Inverted pleat drapery...See MoreDesign Choices (Follow-on to “Pinch Pleated Draperies” thread)?
Comments (5)Oh, I love your bedroom set! The handpainting is so nice, such sweet little scenes. I also really like your paint colors. It's going to be beautiful. I'd probably keep the white duvet, and do white curtains, as you said, keeping the focus on the furniture. I'm not sure about placing the bed by the window, or doing a window seat. The window alcove looks a bit narrow for the bed- how much room would you have on each side? And the window looks a bit low for a window seat, but the picture may be deceptive....See Morechispa
