Oh my gosh! You have demystified pinch pleat curtains for me! I never attempted because I thought it was over my sewing expertise! Thank you once again for being such a wonderful teacher! 💕
I know how to do it. Because I learned how in Home EC. You are not clear on how to do your pinch, I would think it is not clear for the beginner for sure. You did do a good job on your own.
Thank you for sharing this! I’m new here, I just bought linen for drapes for our bedroom, and found your video after searching how to make drapes like this. Your home is so lovely, I love the warmth and texture with the antiques and the soft fabrics, so beautiful! The music is great, too.
Sarah: The drapes are so pretty. I can recall helping my mother make pinch pleat drapes, many years ago. I agree with you regarding lining the drapes. They will hang better and look more high end. 👍!
Wonderful! Can you please tell me what was the width before and after pleating? I want to order curtains online and don't know what dimensions I should buy. The final width of the curtains after pleating should be 2.70m. Thank you!
Ive always loved pinch pleat curtains. They are so absolutely beautiful in a room. I hope this style picks up because I’d really like to change mine out. I could sew but I’d rather not. There is some math to working this or you could end up with extra places for the hooks.
Draperies look great. I just wanted to comment about framing your Grandfather's sheet music. I love that! My Grandma played the church organ for about 30 years. I bought a little gold organ for my charm bracelet to honor her. But now that I have seen your sheet music idea, I'm gonna frame her favorite hymn and hang it on my living room wall. I also took one plate from each of my Grandma's kitchens after they passed & wrote on the backs about how they shared love thru cooking for us & hung them in my kitchen. I love sentimental decor because it will never be just like your neighbors. Thks for the idea. 🙂
Wonderfully explained...thank you...looks loverly! I love the tucked, brown velvet on your bench....a few years back I wanted to make one out of heavy ticking for a lounging outdoor Summer bed...any tips, tricks, hints, tutorials?....😃👍 🌾🦊🌻🦃🍂🪶🍁 I have a question on your "Window Treatment Q & A video", do you answer these, 🤔 or not? Thank you.
I LOVE THESE SO MUCH!!!! Thank you for sharing this process....I have recently purchases an older home (built 1904) that I have to impatiently wait for another 12-18 months to move into, but I am soaking up all the information on how to beautifully style it once I can occupy it. You have impeccable taste "my dear" 🥰
I wish everybody would put a little bit effort into making curtains look like this to me they make or break a room I live in the uk and we always do so well done Sara.
I typically use amzn.to/2nf1KXe (painted to match the room if needed), and these: go.skimresources.com/?id=94232X1548593&isjs=1&jv=15.2.2-stackpath&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fsheholdsdearly.com%2Ffarmhouse-drop-cloth-curtains%2F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F291866229482%3F_trksid%3Dp2057872.m2749.l2649%26ssPageName%3DSTRK%253AMEBIDX%253AIT&xs=1&xtz=540&xuuid=eb89e46843e2322219c3c42cc2291dc4&xjsf=other_click__auxclick%20%5B2%5D
I am so glad to find out this information, I have done pinch pleated drapes before and for me it was a lot of work, this process seems a lot faster, thank you 😊
I just finished mzking my first ever lined curtains. I put the pleat tape on but was struggling with the pleat hooks. Do you your drapes close or just for the sides? Beautiful job.
Thank you Sarah! Watching all your videos! Thank you for making so many of them! Quick question, when you added the lining where did you sew them in! Just under the tape or did you take off the tape and redo that part. Thank you! PS I too remember helping my mom make these and taking them down to wash.
I was wondering if you knew about drapery weights for the hems. One type is like a chain (like on a light pull) that is placed all along the bottom of the hem. Another is a heavy piece of metal that is hand sewn at the top of the hem at the edges (for wide draperies, sew one also at inner vertical seams). Weights will help to define the pleats down to the floor, as will having a three or four inch doubled hem.
I made it! I just bought a plain, unfinished curtain rod at Home Depot and stained it. I had some thrifted pineapple finials that I spray painted gold and added on. Super inexpensive!
They look great! Just a little FYI...there is a pinch pleat curtain rod that makes the hooks work perfectly and make the curtains/drapes look really great and very finished and tailored.
@@lorrem2539 I think it looks awesome. And the fabric was beautiful. Looks like the window treatments were adaptable to a lot of beautiful situations. And I think her pinch pleats looked spot on. ☺️ The rods for that was just a suggestion for her at some point if she wanted to try. It’s a much more formal look. She may have wanted a more casual, farmhouse look. That was great too!😉
You did a lovely job. And the pattern is very pretty complimenting the room. However I did not see any calculations regarding the amount of fabric the pleats consume and where they should be divided. Also there isn’t an explanation about the hem, which should come first (4” doubled) and the side hems are too thin. That’s why the sides stick out (unless you want to use weights). This is an oversimplification of the drapery process.
I’ve made so many pinch pleated drapes or curtains. Even when they weren’t in style I still had them in my house. Love them.

Love your job. Lined though they are still showing light through. Perfect nice n cozy ❤️

I did end up lining them and it was the perfect combination!
@@SheHoldsDearly I saw them in the last video. They look fabulous!
Love this project! Your curtains are perfect and look wonderful in your home. As always you do an amazing job!
Wonderful!
Can you please tell me what was the width before and after pleating?
I want to order curtains online and don't know what dimensions I should buy.
The final width of the curtains after pleating should be 2.70m.
Thank you!
I'm so glad you posted this! I bought a gallon size bag with a ton of pinch pleat hooks at a garage sale a couple weeks ago!
Calico corners have weights for bottoms of curtains so they hang with that professional look.
You can also slip a nickel in the corners.
Amazing timing! All my supplies are finally in and I’m getting ready to pleat and hang curtains in our front room 🥳 These look beautiful!! 👏🏼
You got this, Erin! :) Please post an "after" in our group when you're finished!
@@SheHoldsDearly will do! ☺️
Sarah, they look fabulous! Beautiful job!💕
Love the drapes you chose. The fabric looks great with your wood furniture. You did a super job on making them.
Thank you so much!
I love all the projects you do! They all come looking wonderful. 🙋🏼♀️❤
Thanks for sharing. I was thinking I wanted pinched drapes again with the fabric I bought! You sealed the deal.
Your windows look very nice. 💕

Beautiful! I love your choice of fabric and lining them really works! Thanks for your informative and inspiring videos.
Wonderful instructional video. The curtains are beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to share.
I remember those hooks in the 70’s my mom had them all over the house! Just a beautiful style 🤍
The video on making these curtains was very helpful, thank you! Would you mind sharing the source where you purchased the fabric?
Here it is!

Perfect choice! The curtains are beautiful ❤️
They turned out beautiful, looks so nice.

I am terrified of pattern. But I'm looking at our drapes and thinking they definitely need it. Everything in our room is solid. Everything.
Oh gosh they're so pretty & they match so well within your room there. Nice job. Beautiful.
I wish everybody would put a little bit effort into making curtains look like this to me they make or break a room I live in the uk and we always do so well done Sara.
Oh they look so pretty Sarah… such a classic and elegant room… Well done!
Sincerely, Susan
Lovely. The especially looked great with your caned settee. You did a great job on them, and the lining weighted them and made them look really good.
hi sarah , could u pls link ur curtain rings!
I typically use amzn.to/2nf1KXe (painted to match the room if needed), and these: go.skimresources.com/?id=94232X1548593&isjs=1&jv=15.2.2-stackpath&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fsheholdsdearly.com%2Ffarmhouse-drop-cloth-curtains%2F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F291866229482%3F_trksid%3Dp2057872.m2749.l2649%26ssPageName%3DSTRK%253AMEBIDX%253AIT&xs=1&xtz=540&xuuid=eb89e46843e2322219c3c42cc2291dc4&xjsf=other_click__auxclick%20%5B2%5D

Sarah, They are beautiful. I have not seen pinch pleats for years.
Love the introduction of browns. Plays off new couch so nicely.
I just finished mzking my first ever lined curtains. I put the pleat tape on but was struggling with the pleat hooks. Do you your drapes close or just for the sides? Beautiful job.
The drapes don't close all the way, but almost. :)
Thank you Sarah! Watching all your videos! Thank you for making so many of them! Quick question, when you added the lining where did you sew them in! Just under the tape or did you take off the tape and redo that part. Thank you! PS I too remember helping my mom make these and taking them down to wash.
I ended up only stitching one seam to hold the tape down and catch the top edge of the lining.
I was wondering if you knew about drapery weights for the hems. One type is like a chain (like on a light pull) that is placed all along the bottom of the hem. Another is a heavy piece of metal that is hand sewn at the top of the hem at the edges (for wide draperies, sew one also at inner vertical seams). Weights will help to define the pleats down to the floor, as will having a three or four inch doubled hem.
Thank you for the idea, Pat!
Thanks for this clever solution!
I have pinch pleated drapes in my living room and love them. Love your sweater is it available anywhere?
Thank you! My cardigan is from a garage sale, but here is a similar one- amzn.to/33OF2Pm
Thank you!
You're welcome!
They look beautiful, Sarah!
Those turned really beautiful.
Beautiful. Well done, Sarah.
The new curtains look so good!
Your talent never fails to amaze me!!
They are gorgeous! Perfect!
The fabric is magnificent
They look fantastic
Very beautiful. Where did you purchase your curtain rod?
I made it! I just bought a plain, unfinished curtain rod at Home Depot and stained it. I had some thrifted pineapple finials that I spray painted gold and added on. Super inexpensive!
Beautiful, just beautiful!!!!
Drapes look great. How did you line them?
I did end up lining them with my previous drop cloth curtain material! The combination turned out perfect.:)
They look great! Just a little FYI...there is a pinch pleat curtain rod that makes the hooks work perfectly and make the curtains/drapes look really great and very finished and tailored.
Agree. I also don’t think this is the real way to make the pinch pleat, this is the DIY way to make a pleat. Just my opinion of course. 🙂

Beautiful! I'm wondering if I could use rod pocket curtains and just add the pleat tape?
Yes, that should work!
Yes, that should work!
You did a superb job! 🤎
