A "pinch" is just that... such as a pinch of salt in a recipe. I was told at one point that a Pinch works out to about 1/8th of a teaspoon, but it's probably even a little less than that.
To do "a pinch of salt", one would pinch some salt between their fingers and put it in the recipe.
A 'pinch' is not a recognised measure- it depends on the size of your fingers,so is very innacccurate.
Ah, measuring a pinch of salt is like adding a touch of magic to your cooking! In the metric system, you can use a unit called a "gram" to measure a pinch of salt. Just gently sprinkle a small amount into your dish, like adding a sprinkle of happiness to brighten your day.

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.

A "pinch" is typically used for dry measurement, but it is obviously not a standard way of measuring. Even on wikianswers, people have said a "pinch" equals 1/16th of a teaspoon... up to 1/8th of a teaspoon. Therefore, there is no real consensus about what exactly is a "pinch". It is taught by moms by showing the amount of sugar or flour a person can hold between the thumb and index finger... therefore, everyone's amount of "just a pinch" can vary greatly. A man's fingers, being bigger, would hold more than a woman's fingers, and a teen's or child's fingers would hold less than the pinch an adult woman could hold between her thumb and index finger. Again, a pinch or a teaspoon is typically for DRY ingredients. DROPS or teaspoons would be for liquids. It would be impossible to measure a "pinch of any liquid".
