ABSTRACT:
A method of outlining a swag body on fabric includes overlaying a first unadjustable template sheet formed of durable plastic over fabric and partially outlining top and bottom portions of the swag body on the fabric, removing the first template, and then overlaying a second unadjustable template sheet formed from durable plastic over the fabric and further outlining a side portion of the swag body. The first template includes top demarcation lines for outlining the top portion of traditional swag bodies and cut-out demarcation lines for outlining the top portion of cut-out swag bodies. The first template further includes corner demarcation lines for outlining an upper corner side portion of traditional swag bodies. Each demarcation line corresponds to a particular swag drop and demarcation lines include apertures corresponding to swag widths. The first template can thereby accommodate the formation of swag bodies having various swag dimensions of swag drop and swag width as well as various swag styles. The second template includes indicia for orienting the template with respect to the outline made with the first template and for further outlining a side portion of the swag body and also can be used with swag bodies of various swag drops and swag widths. The second template includes an angular side edge for outlining triangular portions defining the side edge of the swag body which are later folded to form pleats, and is dimensioned to form a predetermined number of triangular portions for the formation of a predetermined number of pleats.
