House Beautiful / Double pinch pleat curtains - which header tape to use?
« on: February 19, 2023, 17:22:52 PM »
I've just purchased six windows' worth of fabric from Just Fabrics.  In order to keep the cost down I opted for the double pinch pleat heading rather than my normal pencil pleat.  My problem is that I can't find header tape specifically for double pinch pleats.  Which header tape should I therefore use?  I can make the pleats by hand - it will take a while but it's doable - but presumably I need to stitch some kind of Rufflette or similar to the curtains first?  I'm not sure, and my 35-year old curtain-making book doesn't seem to address this specific question.

Does the hive mind have any advice to offer?  Thanks  :)

Classy  :)

I have some fuchsia pink wool in a crate somewhere that might work very well with a jacket like that...

@So Chic  Exactly my situation too.  If I get no takers here I'll next offer them to the textiles teachers at DS's old school.

Not intending to participate in this one, but putting a shout out for a bunch of patterns I'm getting rid of in the For Sale/Free thread, many of which meet the definition of capsule wardrobe if you're still working for a living, in an office environment at least!
