If you didn't want purple draperies before, perhaps this fabric would change your mind.
Another completely awesome Bart Halpern pleated fabric, made up with fat, happy, double-topped pinch pleats. All hand-sewn, and I found purple thread for the pleats that matched perfectly.
It turned out to be a dream to work with, though I have to say I was a little intimidated when I first saw it. The yardage was stabilized on the back, unlike the brown sheer Bart Halpern from a couple of months ago.
I am just loving these bulky double-topped pleats, wrap-tacked around the front by hand, rather than stab-tacked through the sides of the pleat.
They are really dramatic in this taffeta-
and this heavy, slubby linen/cotton.
