Double Banding on panels.....

Another lovely drapery treatment from SuElyn Chase of Cottages to Castles:

Trims are all about context.  If you only see the face fabric, you will wonder why the blue is there- until you see the treatment in the room.  The blue ties it all together, beautifully.



The blue banding fabric is tripled to be sure there are no marks from seam allowances.





We basted the layers together to keep it all flat and neat and tight.

Beautiful, fat, interlined Euro pleats are hand-tacked around the fronts of the pleats- my favorite method.
