Continuing with the black and white motif in my office, next up is custom drapes. I love this black and white stripe drape project, but I wanted to use silk dupioni. So I bought 3 yards of black silk dupioni, 2 yards of white silk dupioni, and 5 yards of drapery lining. I cut out 8 ½” strips, keeping the fabric 54” wide. I sewed the strips together {5 black and 4 white} with a ¼” seam, always measuring to make sure they were even. Then, I sewed the lining to the sides, keeping the panels finished but free at the bottom. Black drapery hooks finished the project.
