Making Double Pleat To Pattern Zoffany Moon Silk Interlined & Lined Curtains

More timelapse footage from #TheWindmillWorkroom. A quick video showing the construction of a #handsewn cotton bump #interlined and cotton sateen #linedcurtain with a chunky #doublepinchpleat heading, pleated to pattern so that a full moon coincides with every other pleat. Pleating to pattern makes for a lovely bespoke look and careful planning can create super effects with selective areas of the fabric repeating in the pleats across the curtain.

This video is in fast speed so much of the making detail may not be seen. For full voiced #videotutorials please visit the Trade Pro area of my website which is strictly for trade professionals to protect the integrity of the #curtainmaking trade. Please see the link below.
