Pencil Pleat Curtains

[cat04 (catherine)]

I was wondering if anyone could give some idea how to make pencil pleat curtains like in the image below?

Would it be a case of modelling the shape of the curtain and then running some kind of cloth simulation as though a drawstring is pulling it together?

Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

Yep, that’s pretty much what I have done in the past, based on this tutorial

That’s awesome thank you!

I found that tutorial to be the best as it covers a few styles.
