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.
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 .
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! 😊 👍
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!
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 :)
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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! 🥰
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!
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.
I loved how you did this on the floor and not a big fancy pintrest perfect sewing room .. this is how I would do it and makes it so real and homey .. thank you so much!!
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! 😉😍
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
It doesn’t matter so much for your decorative curtains, but if you going to draw the curtains you need to take into account any obvious pattern repeat and match them up, meaning increased amount of fabric I like to use 2.5 times window width as I have curtain tracks that have an overlap to avoid gapping when curtains are drawn I also use a deeper hem and add weights inside the hem - my mother used to use old English 1d coins as we are in the U.K. ! but you can buy them specially for the purpose- you don’t need too many but they do help with the crispness of the hem and help the curtains hang neatly Don’t forget to sew little pockets within the hem to keep the weights spaced evenly and for ease of removal prior to washing / dry cleaning Your curtains look lovely and everyone should be inspired to give it a go
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.😁
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!
Replacing the RV drapes with blackout drapes for the front windshield. Thanks for the simplicity -I am using 2 Eclipse panels purchased at Walmart (42x84) but turning sideways to pleat and hang at the 42 “ length-need to check JoAnns for the pleated tape. Thank you!! ☺️
😲 Wow, your drapes came out beautifully❣ This is definitely something I would like to try once I practice some more on my machine 👏. As always, thank you for sharing❣💗🦋

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.
I love making drapes and all home decor. Glad people are going back to drapes I can’t stand blinds.
The drapes are totally FABULOUS !!!
Thank you! I love how they turned out.
@@thediymommy Can you tell us what that fabric is? It's perfect!
@@lilybee_ I've linked it in and all the supplies here: thediymommy.com/how-to-sew-drapes-with-pleater-tape/
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!
What a beautiful, fresh look you’ve created.
I know this is about drapes, but I also love that ironing board cover!
Wow I never knew about pleet tape!!!!!! AWESOME JOB
Me either glad to know that.
I never thought about sewing my own drapes! Thank you for the tutorial and inspiration.
Oh you’ll save a fortune👍
Wonderful drapes, Well done. Thank u for the instructions.
This is a very good idea, I hope you are always healthy and I hope the audience is always healthy, thank you
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 .
Thank you for the tips. Found the video once I bought the fabric and borrowed a sewing machine.
That fabric is everything
That fabric is beautiful! You make it look so easy...great tutorial!
Y
You did all the hard work! I just need to buy the fabric. So many easy tips. A project I can look forward too this summer. Thanks!
Very very beautiful print and colour of curtains. Good job.
I just love your drapes! When I first started making drapes I thought it was going to be challenging but after the first one, I was hooked!
That breakfast nook looks so pretty and cozy! Love it!

Glad it was helpful!
Wow those floral curtains are just lit😍
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!
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!

Dont get thrift stores here in switzerland so sad😓
You always make everything look so easy.
These drapes are absolutely beautiful... And a lot of work❤😊..
Such a simple tutorial with great impact! Thanks for taking the panic out of a diy project!! Love the material used! 💗
You're very talented, fingers crossed mine will turn out half as well. Thank you for taking the time to share how you made them.
Thank you for taking the time to watch Sam. I'm sure your curtains will be great!
Ur so talented! Thank you for sharing ur ideas with us. God bless!
I agree with you, yes she is.
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!
LOL! I'm happy that I've now "met" someone who gets just as excited about sewing and fabric, as I do! LOL!
@@thediymommy YES! For real!! "Course, I've been sewing since I was 6 years old....And I'm now 60! hahahaha

Thank you I was just quoted $1200 - $1900 for my 2 story living room windows. I sew but have never sewn drapes, I think I'll try it.
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.

The pleat tape and gathering clips are new to me and made such a professional presentation! Beautiful job!

Good advice! I am always amazed at how many videos I see where people don't backstitch!

Great tips; thank you!
Loved your drapes!! Added so much to your space. I’m new here but so glad I found your sight. You are so talented. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for this video. I was able to make my own cafe curtain based on your instructions. Happy Holidays!

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.
Lovely! Well done! You’ve got talent!! ❤️👵🏻
“Granny chic” 😂 that is my entire aesthetic. I haven’t heard that before but will be using it.
Those are gorgeous! You really talented Christina! Is there anything you can't do. Even made me want to buy a sewing machine and give it a try.
Gorgeous 😍 I really need to learn to sew 😩
Wow. 😳 😯 🤩 🤩 🤩
Stunning. I LOVE the floral print. So beautiful!
I needed this tutorial! Now I know where to start on my drapes. Thank you!!!
