In last months Homes and Gardens there were some super pictures of some light weight curtains with a double pleat heading. The double pleats have beed sewn at the top only and NOT at the bottom as you would expect.I think they look great and not something I have seen before.It gives a really contempary look. The pictures are on page 42 and 43. I really like the way the fabric falls away from the top of the curtain and forms an upside down V. It really is thinking outside the box.

Re: Double pleats with a twist
Penny,
in one of my forays into the American site, there were lots of these pleats. I cannot remember what they were called, but that what was done. Triple / double pleats sewn at the top only. I am not able to ask in the forum as I do not subscribe to it so I cannot help you with the name....maybe somebody out there can. Another interesting facet on sewing.

Re: Double pleats with a twist
I think they might be called fan pleats - look anything like this? http://s7d4.scene7.com/s7ondemand/zo...Fan_Plea_DrapeLouise
