When we bought our house 4 years ago, one of the first things that I did was replace the dated maroon mini blinds with in-stock white roman shades. After 4 years of hot Texas sun, the shades have yellowed and become sun bleached.
For months I scoured the internet looking for shades to replace them. I never found any that I loved, but there were many I liked. As with most things, though, they were very expensive!
After tackling the No Sew Tie Up Shades I wondered if I could use hem tape and recover the existing shades. I practiced with some inexpensive fabric I had on hand, and once I saw how easy it was, I decided to buy fabric and recover them.

* I tried to document this the best I can. It's quite difficult to put many of these steps into words, so please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

years ago I made all y shades using warm window . 49 in fact. They all need replacing or recovering. I am going to try a small window and use hot glue over the existing fabric, because mine all have magnets sewn in. Do you have any comments that might help me? Yours look fantastic, Great job!
