Best laid pleats

Frances, Patrick and Paul met bright and early on Easter Sunday morning to help Mrs M re-hang her curtains. She’d previously had them up for 15 years, and when she took them down to re-decorate she needed some help to get them back up.

The curtains themselves went up relatively simply, with the guys hanging them and Frances “project managing”. Unfortunately, they came with some additional pleated parts which looked lovely but were hard to get back up. After figuring out how the pleating worked, we tried attaching them with some tacks, but it didn’t look quite right – it seems like a staple gun will be needed to get the job done.

Still, we gave it our best effort and then headed off to enjoy Easter Sunday with a nice roast.
