Pleated Drapes Formula:
Finished width x Fullness factor + overhand/returns divided by fabric width = # of widths (needs to be a whole number, so round up if .3 of higher)
Finished length + H/H (hems and headers, usually 16") = cut length
cut length x 3 of widths divide by 36" = # of yards to buy
if there is a repeat:
cut length divide by repeat size in inches = answer
take the answer rounded to the nearest whole number x by repeat size = new cut length
