Hi Sophie,
You haven't said what your allowances are for overlaps and returns.
I have made an assumption of 10cm per curtain:
120 (pole length) / 2 = 60cm + 10cm = 70cm finished width per curtain
120-70=50cm available for pleats/5 pleats = 10cm per pleat (this is very small - double pleats might be an option or reduce to 4 pleats) but 4 pleats will mean large spaces
70 - 14cm (assumption 7cm each leading edge and outside edge) = 56 for spaces / 4 spaces = 14 cm per space
You havn't quite got enough fullness here, I think I'd go for double pleats.
Sophie - I made an error in my calculations - please double check my edited numbers above.
