Sewing yourself vs professional sewers
One of the advantages of having a professional designer on staff is the ability of iluvfabrix.com to provide precise direction on how to sew drapes yourself. Our designer will help you calculate the exact number of yards you need for your drapes depending on the drape style you choose and then can send you simple step by step sewing directions. We have found many people who have sewn drapes themselves with our directions, even for the first time, yield professional looking results. You can get a pretty good idea of how much fabric is required for a chair or sofa by clicking on our fabric chart as follows: http://www.iluvfabrix.com/estimator.html Have a look at the fabrics at http://www.iluvfabrix.com/upholstery-fabric/designer-fabric/13.htm
