| Hello everyone, I would like to make inverted pleated drapes and have yet to find anything online on how to do so. I have mocked up some ideas, but so far they just seem a little complicated. Has anyone had experience making these before? Any recommendations on books or websites to get information on how to do so? Thanks so much! |

| I have a book put out by Simplicity called "Simply the Best Home Decorating Book" that has very clear instructions on all kinds of home dec stuff. It has lots of drapes - I'm pretty sure they have inverted pleats. Maybe you can get it from your local library. I think I bought mine at JoAnn's. Donna |

| I'm not sure what you are calling inverted pleated Drapes but check out pleaters tape, it makes pleating very easy, no sewing for the pleats. Gemfire |

| Rufflette makes a great inverted pleat tape. you can gt it at www.draperysupply.com. If you prefer to not use a pleater tape,it can be done, and well. Several people have posted pics of theirs on the Custom Home Furnishings web site. |
