The corner doorway of Figure [39] shows a round top shirred in with cotton or bunting trimmed with a couple of flags and a drapery of two alternate colors.

If the sweep of the arch is a semi-circle, take a piece of material a little more than half the diameter in width and as long as twice the diameter (or bottom measurement) and gather one edge into small pleats, tie it tightly and attach it to the centre of the bottom frame.
