Roman Shade
by
Jill F
I recently made a Roman Shade for my girls room. I used fabric that was sent to me from Annie Sloan Unfolded. I love the fabric and I am overjoyed with the way the Roman shade turned out! I created a full tutorial on the blog, and I've used my own tutorial a couple times since to make roman shades for other windows. tutorial
Dowel rods, a piece of wood for the top and cording are needed besides your fabric to create this shade. I used a book I had as a guide to get me started and then tweaked and changed things as I went to make it as simple and easy as possible.
The folds for the dowel rod pockets were approximately 5/8 - you need to make them large enough for your dowel to slide into easily but not so loose they will slide from side to side too much.
I pulled the shade up before hanging it to make sure the folds acted properly and to figure out the hem.

The fabric is awesome. It looks like a giant tea towel. Nice instructions.
