I am finally getting around to showing you my Greek Key trimmed drapes. I purchased this blue greek key fabric from Premier Prints. I bought enough yardage for the length of my drapery.
I am horrible at tutorials -so I will try my best to explain. I cut straight down the length of the fabric and ironed the edges first.
Then folded it in half an ironed that.
I then opened it up and placed the edge of the drapery inside the folded area. Making it where the Greek Key would be on the front & back side of the drapery. To attach the trim I used hem tape- and ironed it on. (forgot to take a photo of that part). You could also sew it on, but I didnt want a seam to show so I choose the hem tape.

Gorgeous! Love the look of a band of fabric on the leading edge of drapery and the Greek Key is perfection!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteYour drapes look like high-end, super expensive drapes! Thanks for sharing your tutorial, I am going to have to pin this awesome project, I love how they turned out!
ReplyDeleteThey look beautiful! What a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The perfect touch.
ReplyDeletegorgeous!!! can you show us the back side, just so I can better picture how you did it? And I'm guessing you only had to order the yardage for one side, since the fabric was cut in half for the other panel?
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous project Amanda! It looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite look for draperies! They're beautiful, Amanda! At first I thought the ironing board cover was your drapery fabric and I thought, "Not sure about this, but if Amanda chose it, it's got to look good!" :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful-I love them. Good job!!
ReplyDeleteHow did you handle the top of them? Are your drapes tab top, pleated, etc? I would like to do this and would like to see pictures of the top if possible, please?

Great detail Amanda! I love the new look and it looks pretty easy to do.....have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out really well... Great job Amanda!
ReplyDeleteThe greek key is fab! LOVE IT! You could have sewn the flap to the drapes first then folded it back over to not have the hem.... just a thought! And I will be stealing this!
ReplyDeletelooks BEAUTIFUL, as does your backyard :)
ReplyDeleteThese looks fabulous! Love them!
ReplyDeleteSo smart! I wouldn't thought to have trim that from the premier fabric. So budget-friendly and I'm sure you have lots left over for some great pillows!
ReplyDeleteOMG...that is such a GREAT idea...totally stealing!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea and using the fabric looks even better than the greek key ribbon I've seen. Totally pinning this!
