DIY Pinch Pleat Curtains

Even a beginning sewer can make these pinch pleat curtains! Give your windows this custom, tailored look with diy pinch pleat curtains.

** NOTE- at 2:38 I mention cutting off 2 1/2 inches, I should have said 2 1/2 yds. And even that may not be correct for your curtain project. I like to have my curtains barely touch the floor.

I’ve made so many pinch pleated drapes or curtains. Even when they weren’t in style I still had them in my house. Love them.

Oh my gosh! You have demystified pinch pleat curtains for me! I never attempted because I thought it was over my sewing expertise! Thank you once again for being such a wonderful teacher! 💕

Draperies look great. I just wanted to comment about framing your Grandfather's sheet music. I love that! My Grandma played the church organ for about 30 years. I bought a little gold organ for my charm bracelet to honor her. But now that I have seen your sheet music idea, I'm gonna frame her favorite hymn and hang it on my living room wall. I also took one plate from each of my Grandma's kitchens after they passed & wrote on the backs about how they shared love thru cooking for us & hung them in my kitchen. I love sentimental decor because it will never be just like your neighbors. Thks for the idea. 🙂

Thank you for sharing this! I’m new here, I just bought linen for drapes for our bedroom, and found your video after searching how to make drapes like this. Your home is so lovely, I love the warmth and texture with the antiques and the soft fabrics, so beautiful! The music is great, too.

I remember those hooks in the 70’s my mom had them all over the house! Just a beautiful style 🤍

Sarah: The drapes are so pretty. I can recall helping my mother make pinch pleat drapes, many years ago. I agree with you regarding lining the drapes. They will hang better and look more high end. 👍!

Love the introduction of browns. Plays off new couch so nicely.

I'm so glad you posted this! I bought a gallon size bag with a ton of pinch pleat hooks at a garage sale a couple weeks ago!

I wish everybody would put a little bit effort into making curtains look like this to me they make or break a room I live in the uk and we always do so well done Sara.

The curtains look stunning. Job well done. Thank you for showing how to do them.

Thanks for sharing. I was thinking I wanted pinched drapes again with the fabric I bought! You sealed the deal.
Your windows look very nice. 💕

[GCgirl]

I LOVE THESE SO MUCH!!!! Thank you for sharing this process....I have recently purchases an older home (built 1904) that I have to impatiently wait for another 12-18 months to move into, but I am soaking up all the information on how to beautifully style it once I can occupy it. You have impeccable taste "my dear" 🥰

[brendafalk]

Lovely. The especially looked great with your caned settee. You did a great job on them, and the lining weighted them and made them look really good.

[irmayorke]

They turned out beautiful, looks so nice.

[bluesky]

Sarah, they look fabulous! Beautiful job!💕
