Drapes based on the Scarlet Curtain from Patterns Plus 
Friday, January 30, 2009, 08:21 PM
Believe it or not these were made from a client's previous PP drapes from her old house, including the Oxford valance from M'Fay. The drapes were based on the Scarlet Curtain from Patterns Plus.

Farm House Makeover 
Monday, January 26, 2009, 06:38 AM
This farmhouse dining room had a complete make over. The walls were repainted in Martha Stewart's "barn red" and the window treatments in a Kravet silk stripe make a more dramatic statement.

The panels are 135" long with a 24" long attached flip over valance with fringe. The panels are lined and interlined. Each panel is one width and has been gathered to a Finished width of 10". Rufflette Press and Drape pleating tape was used to shirr the panels and held in place on the rod with velcro.

The rods are Kirsch Buckingham 2" diameter in Aged Gold finish with Acanthus Leaf finials.

Interlined silk panels for the bedroom have a FL of 122" which allowed for a little puddling on the floor. At the top is a 9" triple pouf header. This was made using Kitty Stein's directions from Sew What Magazine, Nov. '01. Using the Rufflette Press and Drape pencil pleat tape a breeze. Easily gathered two widths to 45" FW. On the door is a similar, smaller pouf - 6"-7" tall. The back of the press and drape allowed it to 'stick' to the hook side of velcro.

Cornice with Silk Satin

These show a cornice that I made with silk satin. The design is couched on yarn (handspun silk and linen) from a pattern I had.
