Green Curtains

As an curtain & interior design professional, with an interest in environmentally friendly living, I was researching living curtains today. Sadly, I can't find the original reference to Li Fan's invention, but I remain impressed by the ability to have indoor living curtains.

Technique Tuesday: Curtains - Wave Pleat Tape

Similar to - but more flexible than - ripplefold header, wave pleat tape allows fabricators to make a header with little more required than the ability to sew straight lines & hook glorified paperclips into predetermined slots. Very D.I.Y. friendly.

Unless you rely on your curtains for complete blackout conditions & no light lines, go with the butt masters. Overlap masters interrupt the continuous folds, thus making the curtains look awkward.
