Most definitely, you have inspired me to make my own drapes. That's the first thing I'm going to do, and by researching, I found your channel. Thank you for this information.
These drapes are gorgeous! I love the fabric pattern and color! Really classy. One thing a drapery maker told me a while back is that if you want to have your drapes hang with the folds properly in sync with the pleats (which, like you said, is the owner's choice) you need to iron the folds into the panel before they're hung. I tried that and it made a world of difference.
I enjoyed this video. I made one bedroom's set of drapes this way using heavy weight double size bedsheets quite a few years ago now. I used white ones as liners and solid blue on the room side, and the curtain tape and hooks have survived just fine, very durable and practical. I can add my recommendation to yours! 😊 👍
Thank you for video on how to make that type of drapery .I sew and love sewing curtains and pillows for my home .please share more of these type of videos and by the way I love all your videos .
It was meant to be :). I am looking to make some curtains for my living room and came across this video 7 hours after you uploaded it. You gave simple and easy-to-follow instructions and your curtains look great -- I can't wait to try this!
Wow!!! You chose BEAUTIFUL fabric!!! They look amazing in your breakfast nook! The accent pillows are so pretty. I love the pattern! Thank you for the clear instructions and again, Wow! You are such an inspiration!
THIS VIDEO IS THE BEST! I LOVE making drapes and pillows!!!!! WOW! Pinch pleated drapes are my FAVORITE! I am going to be making these for my study! I can't WAIT! That FABRIC is GORGEOUS!!!!!! I am giggling with excitement!
Your video is perfect as far as how much detail to show down to how much to explain. I never felt like you talked so much I got lost in what we were doing. Thank you for sharing this!!!
love this sewing plan for these curtains. I think I'll go measure now and start the project soon. If I can somehow attach pics later, I will! Thank you!
Oh, let's see. I undertook 108" thermal-lined embossed blue velvet drapes for 22 windows in our house two years ago? I've made about half of them, and I've needed a huge motivation to continue. I also made some that were a tan and royal blue flocked complementary drapes for the living room sets. OMG, you made handling those drapes look so easy, granted they were not lined and not as long. They are beautiful, and I love your style and fabric. New to your channel. You are easy to watch!
I love you! Thank you for all your inspirations. I used to has such a fabulous design eye, but lost it...I can’t see it...anymore. So I really appreciate your talents! 🥰
Good advice! I am always amazed at how many videos I see where people don't backstitch! And...I have never seen curtain hooks like that before! They look really good. I don't have an IKEA close to me!
Love these! My mom keeps telling me its easy to sew curtains...my aunt keeps telling me to JUST START sewing, thats how you get over the fear of screwing up and even gave me her machine because she got a newer one and I still am afraid, lol! Thanks for this, you make it truly look like anyone can do it....I mean that in a good way, lol....I just have to pull out the machine and plug it in and just practice!
The drapes are beautiful. I would recommend that you wash the material first before you sew in case there is some shrinkage. I've learned from personal experience.
Oooh, it's big step just watching your great video:) Think I'll start with a test curtain first, on my mum's (now mine) very old workhorse Bernina sewing machine. Excited and nervous at the same time!
I heard that. I live in a historic home and my son's room faces North and is always freezing in the winter, so I'm making thermal lined curtains. $84 (with sales AND coupons!) for one panel 😵 $200 if it wasn't all on sale. 💀 ...and this doesn't include thread or any notions 😭
I know this comment is a bit older, but if you’re struggling to pay for nice fabric, check out the discount section at a fabric store near you! I went to JoAnn’s today and got a yellow paisley fabric that was originally $20 a yard for $3 a yard. I paid less than $20 total and I’ll have cute boho curtains for my apartment in an hour or two! I also second what the other comments said about thrifting bedsheets. I redid the cushion on my papasan chair with a thrifted flannel sheet and I’ve made myself a few dresses with them before, too :)
I love the elegant look of pleated drapes. I learned to make my own drapes a few years ago & made them for every window. Recently I'd decided I wanted to line them. It's been a bit of a chore & a major upward learning curve but I have 4 of 12 panels done now and the difference is wonderful. Disassembling the drapes without harming the fabric was the hardest part. Drapery fabric was to expensive to start over.
You did great job they look amazing you made the place so beautiful I wish I have your skills. I used to use a sewing machine but I couldn’t do a lot of stuff with it and now it’s been in the storage for years.
Lovely, not seen those hooks before make life a lot easier, than pulling the 3 threads to draw pleats in, I use ribbon top, middle, & bottom to set pleats, tied for a day or two. X❤X
Hello! I'm so Happy I have found your Channel. I also want to sew table cloths, place mats and napkins. Now the big one is slip covers for sofa and love seat. Thank you!
Bought fabric today. I am ecstatic. Not only perfect for wallpaper (1 wall) but area rug too!!! It just jumped out at me. Best part, found it at upholstery shop and got for $5/yd. Going to make panels & window cushion seat.😁
Looks great, Christina! I have tried sewing on a machine and by hand. It's truly not for everyone! Give me a canvas or wall, paint and a brush, and I can go to town! 😉😍
I hope I can inspire you to try making your own drapes! Get links to all the supplies & the written instructions here: thediymommy.com/how-to-sew-drapes-with-pleater-tape/
So inspiring!! I only hope I find it as easy as you make it look! Great job as always! xoxo
Hi, goodmorning. I like your machine maam
Can i order you, only secondhand, oe surplus machine. If you can help me.
Most definitely, you have inspired me to make my own drapes. That's the first thing I'm going to do, and by researching, I found your channel. Thank you for this information.
Finally a crafter that sews and doesn’t depend on hot glue 👍. THIS is a high end look.
Love the window treatments. This is the way my Mom made drapes 60 years ago. Everything old is new again.
The drapes are totally FABULOUS !!!
Thank you! I love how they turned out.

The drapes make an amazing transformation to the window. They look like an interior designer did them! Love love ❤❤

I didn’t even know they had that strip to sew on! Thank you!
I know this is about drapes, but I also love that ironing board cover!

Wonderful tutorial

Yes! Totally agree! I also learned from experience! 😂
FABULOUS!!
very pretty!
These drapes are so pretty! I have windows like this in my bedroom and I have a hard time designing the dressings. I will use your pattern.
Great tutorial. A simple way to achieve a very nice result
Wonderful.
I love this tutorial!! Thanks! That gave me courage to finally upgrade my bedroom curtains. ❤
You make this look easy
Great job!
Thank you for this! Beautiful and very helpful!
I needed this tutorial! Now I know where to start on my drapes. Thank you!!!
Oooh, it's big step just watching your great video:) Think I'll start with a test curtain first, on my mum's (now mine) very old workhorse Bernina sewing machine. Excited and nervous at the same time!
It's not the making of the drapes that stops me - it's the paying for the fabric. Anything that doesn't look cheap, isn't cheap.
@@malissawhite4569 Great idea. Once lockdown finishes I'll look into that.
I heard that. I live in a historic home and my son's room faces North and is always freezing in the winter, so I'm making thermal lined curtains.
$84 (with sales AND coupons!) for one panel 😵
$200 if it wasn't all on sale. 💀
...and this doesn't include thread or any notions 😭
I use flat sheets from thrift stores for large projects. A lot of the time you can find great, new sheets for a fraction of the price!
I know this comment is a bit older, but if you’re struggling to pay for nice fabric, check out the discount section at a fabric store near you!

Dont get thrift stores here in switzerland so sad😓
GREAT JOB! My basement is an absolute wreck, and you've inspired me. I know what ill b doing tomorrow 🤪
Thanks for video, I made my first curtain today and your video helped a lot.
Thanks so much for this video. I was able to make my own cafe curtain based on your instructions. Happy Holidays!
