Draping is also a great way to create specific styles of clothing, such as a drape shirt or dress, which may require less sewing and strictness in design. Cut the tape 7½” longer than the finished width of your curtain panel. Pin the resulting length of tape to the top edge of the curtain. Center the tape within the hem, and adjust side to side so the first loop is about 1” in from the left edge. The panel should be prepared and hemmed in a similar manner to the samples above. As mentioned in the introduction, the Shirring Tape is much narrower so you don’t need to have as deep a hem the way you do with the Rod Loop Tape or Clip Ring Tape. We used a deep hem for our test to keep all the samples consistent, but we could have gotten away with just a narrow 2” hem. When done correctly, it's an attractive look that enhances and hides specific features, resulting in a comfortable and fashion-forward look that will turn heads.
