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
Pleated drapes and curtains are very elegant and sophisticated. The company found at this website: http://www.factorydirectdrapes.com/store/pinch_pleated_drapes.asp sells a large variety of pleated drapes at reasonable price.
To measure fabric for pinch pleated drapes, first, determine the desired finished width and height of the drapes. For width, multiply the total rod length by a fullness factor (typically 2 to 3 times, depending on the look you want). For height, measure from the top of the curtain rod to the desired length, adding extra for headers and hems. Finally, account for shrinkage by adding an additional 10% to the total fabric needed.
The Brother Sewing Machine and Sauder Sewing Table would be a great pick.
There are some companies that offer drapes with monkey patterns on them but you'll need to shop around. You may be better off buying monkey patterned fabric and sewing your own curtains. If you aren't good with a sewing machine, they make glues that bond just like stitching would.
A salary is paid based on an annual figure and the salaried employee typically received the same paycheck every weeks, regardless of hours worked or performance. (Annual salary / 52 weeks = weekly paycheck.) A wage is paid based on the number of hours an emplyee works. (Hours worked in a given week * hourly rate = weekly paycheck.)
You usually need to take your drapes to a dry cleaner to have them properly cleaned, however the labels will give detailed instructions. You can also use a steamer to clean them up to a point.

Polyester is an excellent choice for making a pleated skirt due to its durability, wrinkle resistance, and ability to hold shapes well. Additionally, it drapes nicely, which enhances the pleats’ appearance. Other suitable options include nylon and rayon, both of which offer a soft feel and good movement. These materials allow for vibrant colors and patterns, making them popular choices for fashion.
