I've been looking for a book which explains how to sew lined curtains. I wanted it to have step by step directions, preferably with pictures illustrating each step because I am not a sewing maven extraordinaire.
I looked at my Pier1 curtains that I love - and in my mind's eye - I kind of figured it out already. However, my mind's eye can be wrong a lot of the times.
Luckily, Pinterest, my new best friend, pulled through. Found this thread today and it is absolutely genius:
I am so happy and need to pull out my sewing machine TOUT DE SUITE.
Another thing I love about this thread is she covers how to make it look "faux pinch pleated." I have seen the instructions on how to sew pinch pleats and wasn't too keen about measuring things and figuring out the spacing while sewing and also needing extra widths of fabric which would then entail repeats and lining up the edges of said repeats. Take deep breath here.
So also in that link is how to make it look a bit like pinch pleats (from far away!)
I'm a fan! And can't wait to start on this pinterest project!
