Cinched tab panels

Nicole Gray had us make cinched tab panels out of this cool fabric.  The gold was applied on top, giving it a sort of waxy gold finish- really beautiful.

At the top there wasn't much wall room above the window, so we made sure the panels didn't droop between tabs so the window trim wouldn't be exposed.  The tabs were 7" wide, and 4.5" long, for a 1.375" pole, with 4" spaces between them.

The cinches started out 4" high, assembled strip-piece style.

They then were scrunched with three irregularly placed pleats.  Not shown is the velcro at each end to make installation easier.  A fun job!
