Making draperies

Now that I've picked my favorite from the paper mockups, it's time to make the pleated draperies for real.

I'm using my vintage Millie August Magic Mini pleating tool.  I have a post on the process here.  The only difference was this time I used Fray Check along all the edges since the fabric wanted to fray just looking at it. 

I've set them aside to dry until I'm ready for them...should have a good pleat by then.  I'll likely spray them once I remove them from the pleater so they keep their shape, but for now it keeps them out of the way to leave them in the pleater.
