    Thank you Thank you Thank you. You took me step by step, SLOWLY so I could understand what you're saying and use MY figures to figure out what amount of yardage I needed for my curtains. You may have done this 4 years ago, but little did know how grateful someone would be to find you! Hope you and yours are doing well.

      I recently uploaded a video for calculating fabrics with pattern repeat. In most instances if the fabric has a horizontal pattern repeat, it usually has a vertical pattern repeat.

    Thank you very much this has been so helpful. A question please - if I get 8.12 widths do I still round up to 9 or down to 8. I am making double pinch pleat blackout curtains with the lining already stuck to it. Also, what fullness do you think I should do for double pinch pleat in the blackout curtains. Many thanks and greetings from Sydney, Australia. xx

    • @valrinevernonhome
      @valrinevernonhome  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Greetings to you! Thanks for watching.
      Rounding up to 8.5 is good.
      You need to decide how deep you want your pleats to be and the number of pleats you will have.
      For example, if your window is 50 ins wide and every 5 ins you have 6 ins of pleats. You will divide 50/5 = 10 sets of pleats.
      Each set of pleat is 6 ins.
      Therefore you will need 10 x 6 ins=60 ins of fabric for your pleats
      Plus the 50 ins for the width of the window
      Plus 4 x 4 for hems for two panels = 16 ins
      Plus 4 ins for overlap at centre for both panels.
      Add all the numbers, then divide by the fabric width to get your number of widths.
      Multiply you #of widths by the length of the panels o get the amount of fabric you will need.
      Use your measurements to substitute my example to do your calculations.
      I hope this helps. Cheers!

    • @valrinevernonhome
      @valrinevernonhome  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Maria, the depth of the pleats, the number of pleats you desire in your draperies/curtains, the side hems, overlap on leading edges and extension pass the window frame, should all be considered in the fullness of your panels. Therefore, the same formula is good for fabric calculations for various drapery styles. Please let me know if this response helped?🙏

    hi, i sent you a comment right down on the bottom. you asked me if im planning on using two widths? and yes i wanted to . but i am new to this type of fabric so i know i dont have enough for two widths. now i know there are options to do. like adding a panel. but im not experienced doing that. its my first project. so i dont want to complicate it. ill do it only one width. and then if it comes out nice ill decide what else i can do with the rest of the fabric. maybe ill make another panel and have more then one panel. i also dont want it to be too short. and i was thinking that im making a lining so it wont be so limpy as i thought it would be. i think it will be ok. listen its my first project and im learning. i could also include pattern repeat bec i have enough for that. so to make a long story short.
    my question to you is im gonna make it single width, i have 10 yards fabric 54". and i want it to be 7' and window width is 35" each so i want the panels to be used from 54" no matter the width of window. i just gave it to you as reference. ill be putting each panel on the side it probably wont be able to be closed bec of single width. but thats ok. (its my first project and i am learning at a certain point ill probably make something else and do better) for now ill leave it this way. thank you so much for answering me. really appreciate. you so so patient. you are so good for this type of work. thank you thank you

    So in a case like this where you would need "3 panels" of 54" fabric, you would have to cut one in half and sew them both to the other panels so that you have 2 symmetrical window panels? That's the method I assume, vs actually sewing 3 panels which would not be symmetrical?

    • @valrinevernonhome
      @valrinevernonhome  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the thought szargos, good assumption. You would cut one panel into two and stitch one piece to each of the other two panels. The pieces are generally stitched to the inside of the panels, where the leading edges meet.

    i followed your instructions here but i think i missed out something crucial. i want to make a curtain that is 7' length and the window width is 70" but i am planning to make 2 panels 1 on each side. i bought 10 yards of fabric (54" wide) and i have a feeling i only bought enough for one panel. can you help me figure out if i did the right thing or i will need more fabric?

      Are you planning on using two widths for each panel?

      Thanks for your question Lucy! The 54" is the width of the fabric. Replace the number with the fabric width you are using.

    how do you measure if you don’t want to cover the entire window. you only want panels one panel on each side?

      Am I understanding you correctly if I say you are referring to Dummy/Stationary Panels?

    • @lisawood9742
      @lisawood9742 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes that is what I am referring to. my window is 53 1/2” wide and 128” long. I want to have panels on (hanging on rings) on each side. The Middle of the window is open.

    • @valrinevernonhome
      @valrinevernonhome  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Depending on the size/width of the window, you can go single or double fullness.
      Generally, If I use stationary panels, I like to give the option of pulling them close. A window treatments pet peeve of mine is "skinny" stationary panels. They have the look of " I ran out of fabric."
      If single fullness will cover your window when pulled, go with single. If double fullness will cover your window when pulled, go with double.
      This will also give your stationary panels more gathers/fullness and a more sumptuous look!
      Hope this helps.

    Very informative video. How would the calculations differ if the fabric has a pattern the runs the width and not parallel to the selvedge? Thank you.

      Good question! Thanks for watching Carol! For more helpful videos be sure to subscribe to the channel.
      I recently uploaded a video for calculating fabrics with pattern repeat. I most instances if the fabric has a horizontal pattern repeat, it usually has a vertical pattern repeat.
      Please check out the video link below and let me know if it helps. Thanks again!
