- Drapery's are quite simple to make. The sewing is straight forward and easy. The hardest part is finding a place to lay your fabric flat.

Have had my Bernina 1230 for 30 years. Almost exclusively home dec. Just watched your walking foot video. Had this fabric slippage problem with every project. Just found the walking foot box in my sewing cabinet, never been opened! Game changer. Thank you, Mimzy🧵
Patricia I struggled with this slippage problem for soooo long before figuring out the resolution. I’m surprised it’s not talked about more in sewing circles. 😵💫
Mimzy you are full of surprises because I was searching for teal curtains, I want to add some to my living room but I cannot find what I want and this does seem doable, I need to find some fabric that I love and do this myself, I had considered drop cloth curtains but I do not want to go through the dying process for that. I have no clue where to shop for the fabric but thanks.
Such a helpful video. You have such a nice manner and I really love the execellent tips you have been generous enough to share. The cardboard "ruler" is brilliant! You cover so many aspects that other tutorials miss out. Thank you!
Awe...youre so sweet Anna! thank you so much for the thoughtful comment!
I go back to this video over and over. It's a great tutorial. Thank you
I'm so glad it's helpful!
Thank you for the help. I have never made lined drapes to this extent. You did a wonderful job clearly explaining the whole project. Thank you again.
Thank you Rosemary!
Lots of helpful hints; first time making lined drapes in decades and I was also working with different piece lengths so thank you.
Thanks Pat. Good luck with your project.
Such a valuable tutorial! I’m an experienced seamstress, but I’ve never made drapes, and your straightforward way of sewing in the lining makes perfect sense to me-how to do the lining and make the curtains hang well was the main thing that I just couldn’t figure out. Your tutorial gives me confidence that I can make some beautiful drapes for my home. Thank you.
Oh good! I’m glad it was helpful Anna!
It is not easy to get the leading edges to hang straight. I'd recommend drapery weights or washers.
20 years ago I made drapes for my living room. I bought drapery weights. They worked beautifully.
Yes! Drapery weights are a game changer!
Always a great tutorial. Very detailed and good visuals.
Thank you Cheryl!
Thanks for sharing, learned a lot. Never made velvet curtains before but I think your technique looks great. Greetings from North Wales UK.
You’re so welcome! I’m glad it helped. Ooh North Wales! I’ve been yearning to visit the UK! Someday I hope.
Thank you! It's my first time making drapes, and they will be a lined thick velvet. I'll follow your example...wish me luck!
Yes!!! You can do it! Good luck .
Hi Mrs Mimzy, I enjoyed your tutorial on how to create a basic lined drapery panel and curtain.
You really know your stuff when it comes to designing.
Also, I wanted to share some face masks with you.
Tips for wearing mask when facing anxiety
1. Find a mask that you want to touch and hold while doing something you enjoy such as watching TV.
2. Put the mask on while you are at home or somewhere you feel safe.
3. Wear the mask around the house.
4. Wear the mask outside the house.
Tips for feeling anxious when wearing a mask.
1. Remind yourself the mask isn't dangerous.
2. Remind yourself you can take it off whenever you want if necessary.
3. Slow your breathing.
4. Practice wearing a mask at home where you feel safer.
5. Find a mask that works for you.
Additional tips.
Breathe from the nose instead of the mouth.
Focus less on the mask to reduce anxiety.
Put essential oils inside your mask to keep it odor free and help you feel more relaxed.
I will keep you posted with more tips as I found them.
Thank you Malik.
I hope you’re NOT wearing or encouraging face masks any longer.
Would love to see the finished project.
hmm....these are hanging in my nieces hair salon, next time i'm there I'll take some pics and try to add them at the end.
I wish I had a big table like that
It's really nice. I actually have an even bigger table now that I inherited from an upholsterer friend. The table in this video is an old dining room table that I covered with a sheet of plywood so it would be 4'x8' . My new table is 6'x10'.
Merci beaucoup pour cette video
You’re welcome.
Would have been nice to see the panels installed and you sewing the lining hem instead of talking about it.
If you are also using a thick-ish/flannel-ish interlining, how do you assemble the layers? The interlining will be in the middle- but do you secure it to the outer lining all the way up to the top? Folding the header over all of that together? Or is it attached lower than the header because all of those layers would make it too thick to pleat? Does the fuzzier side of the interlining face the "wrong side" of the fabric?
The interlining sometimes called bump which is a flannel like fabric is installed just like the regular drapery lining. it does get a bit thick. But it gives drapery's a very luxurious full look and feel. I've actually never installed it here in my workroom because I'm in Florida and it's not necessary. Generally it's used in colder climates and with silk fabrics like Dupioni. You do secure in the header and in the side seams the same as regular lining.
I saw a swag made out for velvet but in the country I am living we don’t sell much fabric so I bought a velvet fabric on line and it didn’t come out perfect can you please help me and tell me with is the Best velvet to achieve the soft flow of the swag
velvet doesn't really have any drape whatsoever. Unless you use a crushed pane velvet.
Hi Mimzy. I’m about to follow these instructions and make my first pair of curtains!!!
I have a couple of questions. Where do you get your buckram? There are so many flavors that I don’t know where to start (and is header tape the same thing?)
Also, can you pleat buckram? Or would I need pleater tape for that? I’m not sure I want to try that, but would like to know if I could.
Also, if you could do anything different or additional to make these nicer (because I notice this was two years ago and I figure you’ve learned some things since then) what would it be?
Hi Karen. You can buy buckram from Joann fabric, or Rowleycompany.com and also Amazon. There’s tons of types. Header tape IS the same thing. Yes you can pleat buckram…it makes nice crisp
Cont…. Crisp pleats. There’s not much I’d change about these. A custom drapery panel is pretty standard.
@@MimzyandCompany Thank you!!!! I'm excited!
@@Karen_ATX very exciting. You’re gonna be hooked! Send be some pics in IG @mimzyandco
May I ask what the transparent ruler with the inches is called please
I think it's generally a quilters ruler. Mine is made by Fiskars brand.
What kind of lining do u use? Thanks e😊
I usually buy RocLon rain no stain drapery lining at Joann Fabrics. It usually runs about $8/yard, and I use a 50% off coupon if it's not on sale already. I do also have a link to something similar on Amazon. Its in the description box of that video.
how do you know where to poke in the hooks
it's all personal preference ...depends upon what type of pleat you want etc. but if you want the drapery to look neat and tailored then no more than 8 inches apart or else the fabric in between will sag.
I have learned to improve my pillow-sewing from Mimzy, but this lined drapery technique is not up to snuff. I've been sewing for decades, and the laborious way she, and most others, sew side seams is not correct and leaves you with two rows on unnecessary and unsightly stitching at each edge of your drape. There's a much easier, more accurate and more attractive way to sew lined drapes.
I'd like to know what that is...Do you create a tube with your face fabric and your lining? If so, I'd love to see a video...I've tried that method sooooo many times and it always leaves me with terrible results. Please do share.
