This is a great video for anyone who knows the basics of machine and hand sewing and wishes to make their own pleated drapes.

We were quoted over $3000.00 (after the 60% discount), by a national department store chain for drapes in our living room and dining room. After watching this video, my wife and I were able to measure, cut, sew and install the very same ($3000.00) curtains for less than $500.

Dianne Apple is a very good teacher and her video is well paced. The only negative... It appears to have been shot in an analog format, so you have to squint in two or three spots to make out the detail.

I thoroughly enjoyed the video. I haven't sewn in a while and was unsure what to expect, but the video was very user friendly. Dianne was easy to understand and made me want to sew more. Looking forward to other home decor videos.
