  • Helped Me Make Pleated Drapes
I had never made pleated drapes before and this book saved the day. It has several different ways to make pleated drapes and gives you a formula to work out the yardage and number of pleats and spaces that you will need. Plus it has instructions for lots of other kinds of drapes - tab top, gathered, pocket, lined and unlined. The instructions are very clear and well written.

The book has lots of pictures for inspiration, and the instructions are very well documented with photos. ... show more

Great book with lots of good photos. The instructions are clear. Just like with a recipe or a pattern, be sure to read over all the instructions before beginning a project.
