and more! So keep reading...

Sure... you can probably find some information on lining curtains... and sewing a flat panel curtain... but most sewing resources out there just don't give you enough information.

Let me give you a common scenario... that may be all too familiar to you...

You've been inspired to decorate your living room window with draperies.

After browsing several decorating books, you decide on traditional pinch pleated drapes.

Now, you don't want just any curtains on your window... you want this special fabric you saw over at the decorator fabric store.

So... you march on over there with your measurements in hand and you ask for a quote to have these custom pinch pleated drapes made for you.

And... you keep yourself from passing out when the store quotes you over $1000 for each panel.

So, the only thing to do is to learn how to sew curtains yourself! How hard can that be... So you head out to the book store to find a book on how to sew curtains.

And your frustration increases! You find lots of books with beautiful photos of pleated drapes... and some have a quick page on how to make them.... but where are all the details?

You go home... empty handed.... and feeling helpless. Do you really have to pay the THOUSANDS of dollars to have the drapes you want?

Does any of this sound familiar?

Well.... let me show you...

How Beginner Sewers to Drapery Workrooms
Can Easily Learn How To
Sew Professional Quality Curtains

Three years ago, I wrote and published an e-book and manual called "How To Sew Pinch Pleated Drapes." This is a detailed step-by-step illustrated manual that shows you exactly how to sew pinch pleated drapes... from design... to installation.

Below is a list of what readers have said about my step-by-step instructions:

Hi Jennifer,
I just purchased your e-book How to Make Pleated Drapes.  It's
wonderful.  I don't know what I would do if I hadn't found it...a lot
of guessing and mistake making I think.

Thank you,

Hello Jennifer,
I am impressed by this book – I think you’ve done a wonderful job on it and one that will enable my client (I’m an interior designer and sew quite a lot) to sew her drapes herself.  ... thanks for all the work you put into this.  It’s clear and concise and I’ve already learned a bunch just by reading it.
All the best,

Jennifer,

When I orderd your "Sewing Pleated Drapery" about one year ago, I had never sewn anything but an apron in Home Economics class. However, with that little bit of knowledge and your directions, I have "draped" house with over 50 windows! Much like sewing an apron, if your directions are followed, if you measure carefully, and if you take your time, the task is foolproof. In fact, the more drapes you make, the easier and faster it goes! It took me about one whole day to make my first window (3 panels, lined and interlined). By the time I got to my last room upstairs, I made the enitre room (9 panels) in under one day!

I absolutely believe in this system and defy anyone to make this task any easier! Thank you, Jennifer, for your wisdom and clarity! You indeed have a special and wonderful gift!

Now my house can look like the designer houses.... you have given me the confidence to try other projects to make my home the very best it can be.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Guess what? I've made sewing curtains even easier!

Many people have since asked me a lot of very good questions about the instructions.... they had questions because they just couldn't picture the concept... even though I had lots of illustrations.

Sometimes, you just need more! And so MORE is what I'm giving you.

Introducing the VIDEO: "How To Sew Custom Curtains"

If you're like me... the next best thing to detailed step-by-step written instructions... is a video that clearly spells out and SHOWS you all the steps you need to make professional drapes.

You may be asking... "Well, if the written instructions are so good, why do I need the video?"

Excellent question!

Let me share with you the powerful special features that make the video The Video: How To Sew Custom Curtains better than ANY drapery sewing resource out there:

Stop wasting your time trying figure out
what the heck the author meant!

The one complaint I hear over and over again from my customers and readers is that they have wasted so much time and money reading those beautiful decorator books.

They show very little explanation for the instructions they give... their language is brief and vague... and they leave you starved from more information.

If you're like me, this aggravating experience is enough to make you want to give up and pay someone the thousands of dollars.

But now, with The Video: How To Sew Custom Curtains, you get.

  • Easy straightforward step-by-step instructions that I personally spell out for you... explaining and showing you every single step you need to do to successfully sew curtains.
  • I break each and every step down into easy to understand steps that SHOW you exactly what you need to do next... so there's no need to second guess instructions.

  • Small, digestible steps that make sewing your drapes as easy as 1-2-3. Instead of summarizing steps into one big video. Each step is broken down into small videos that you can follow literally step-by-step.
Never Again Waste Your Time
with Multiple Trips to the Store

Have you ever started a project, only to be forced to stop half way through... because the instructions you were following didn't mention the one item you needed to finish the project! How exasperating is this? How much of your time did you have to throw away?

How ANYONE Can Sew Custom Drapery Panels

I know that one of the biggest hurdles for people wanting to sew their own custom drapes is learning how to sew. It can be intimidating. especially if you're wrestling with tons of fabric!

That's why The Video: How To Sew Custom Curtains is designed for both beginner sewers and professionals. It covers all the basics for a beginner... and it's still a perfect guide for the professional to quickly learn how to make custom drapes for their customers.

No More Complicated Formulas to Confuse You

Determining how much fabric and lining you need should not be rocket science. You should be able to plug in one or 2 numbers and immediately know how much fabric you need. And you want your calculation to be accurate.

Now, let me be honest with you. You are going to have to do some math. Nothing too hard... some addition or subtraction. I know that math of any sort may not be your thing at all!

That's why in The Video: How To Sew Custom Curtains I guide you through a super easy, fill in the blanks formula that ANYONE can use. I break the video down into small steps that help you find each and every measurement... and then once you have all the numbers you'll need... I show you exactly how to use them.

You'll be shopping for your fabric with confidence knowing that you'll be buying enough for your sewing project.

How To Perfectly Piecing Your Fabric

You can't avoid it. when sewing pleated drapes or functional drapes that need to open and close you will need a piece of fabric that is at least 70" wide... unless you have really narrow windows. Most decorator fabrics are only 54" wide. which means you will have to sew multiple widths of fabric together to get the width of fabric you need to sew your drapes.

Yes! Piecing your fabric together. especially long and heavy panels of fabric.can be extremely frustrating and time consuming if you don't have the right information.

The Video: How To Sew Custom Curtains walks you through every little step of piecing your fabric, including.

  • A simple technique that will have you piecing fabric with a floral or plaid print like a professional seamstress... if you don't learn this special technique, your drapes will look homemade and unprofessional.
  • How anyone can sew large drapery panels. Working with large amounts of fabric can be overwhelming if you don't have right information. You'll be breezing through your drapes after you read this.
The #1 way to quickly and accurately
mark and sew your pleats

One of the biggest myths about sewing pleated drapes is that measuring and marking the pleats is complicated and tedious. I can easily see how you may think this, given that every resource out there explains how to calculate the number of pleats and spaces. and where to place them. and.
