Please join us for a presentation from our very own Chapter Member, Deb Cronin.
Pleating to pattern has moved from occasional detail to mainstream within our workroom and design community. Sometimes planning pleat to pattern is straightforward, but some fabrics offer multiple options as well as challenges. In addition to samples and slides, we will explore the design and fabrication elements of this beautiful high-end detail with hands-on experimenting with a variety of fabrics. For example, we will see how the approach to pleated drapery headers differs from wave headers, and how the approach to flat romans differs from hobbled romans. Attendees are encouraged to bring a sample of a patterned fabric for the group to brainstorm!
