Mine don't look as neat as yours, because I just fold the pleats in and baste at the top, then bind them (as you do-the first one I made with a facing was too much work and I like the binding better). <br /><br />I also haven't made one yet with a different center panel and will definitely try it, yours looks great!Kai Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319136737099550784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-83251506181190153472013-04-18T11:25:23.733-07:002013-04-18T11:25:23.733-07:00I love the colors in this!
