Here's a tutorial where she turned mini blinds to black out Roman shades. Maybe that would help. I didn't find any think at all about repairing blinds that lost their backing. Maybe someone else will.

I would close the blinds then walk outside to see if you like what you see . . . If not, I would look for a fabric, or product you can add to give it a look you do like, and give them the black out quality you bought them for. Good luck.
I bought a single pair of black out curtains and suspended a panel behind my roman shade. I used a spring tension type rod. If I open the shade I just twist the panel into a column to allow for air and light. No tools :)
I know yours are wider but I was thinking they would work anyway. The thing most people said they did was get black out curtains (Walmart was mentioned) and hang them so they go past the window so light can be let in by pushing them aside. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything about fixing your blinds. Would it work to put back out fabric on the backs of the ones where it's gone?
