How to Make Roman Shades, By Jennifer Thoden

Create beautiful window treatments yourself and save time and fist fulls of money.

After learning about all the different types of blinds, I know you will now be inspired to create some of your own.
I thought you would be interested in a great ebook called:

How to Make Roman Shades, by Jennifer Thoden

After reading this ebook, I think I will have to rewrite my definitions of blinds and shades! I didn't realise that there were so many ways to make Roman Shades and Blinds.

Just the options for the hem had me spellbound!

My roman shades have always had a plain straight hem, and the top was simply fixed to a timber board. This ebook shows you extensive variations for hanging the shade, from rod pocket heading, casement to tab top!

I didn't know these options were possible with roman shades. So there you have it, a designer of many years has had her eyes opened into fantastic ways to make roman shades.

How to Sew Roman Shades, by Jennifer Thoden

Roman shades are a simple way to improve the look of your windows, making your neighbours green with envy!

They are expensive to have made professionally as there is a lot of time involved in manufacturing and installing them, but they are well worth the money and look stunning and very sophisticated.

Now there is a more cost effective way. Sew them yourself!

I have made many, and wish that I had found this ebook, How to Make Roman Shades years ago. It really is so straight forward, with step by step instructions, clear, easy to read diagrams and simple language, I could have saved myself a lot of drama, (and hours of unpicking!)

There are lots of little secrets and great patterns to be learnt, making sewing your Roman Shades into fun, rather than agony, saving you money along the way, and providing a uniquely individual look.

Decorating has never been easier with the confidence you gain after making your first roman shade. I remember my first like it was yesterday, it was for a box kitchen window and the fabric was checked! (Bad selection of fabric!)

Without the help of a pattern, it took me weeks by the time I worked out were all the rings and cords went, then I still had to get help to fit it to the window, it was too large and I could barely lift it.

But the sense of pride as I pulled it up and down smoothly and evenly was incredible, there is something about decorating your home and actually being able to say that you made them yourself, it makes them even more special.

How to Make Roman Shades, by Jennifer Thoden, gives you the confidence to attempt unthought of designs to enhance any room of your home.

Simply find the fabric and Jennifer tells you how to calculate how much you need, as well as what accessories are required, and provides a step by step guide from prepairing the fabric, to installing the blind.

The only thing Jennifer doesn't do is sew it for you!

The best thing about this ebook is that it is not all pretty pictures, it does have great photos of roman shade examples, but it also follows up with simple and clear diagrams to work from.

It is much easier to learn from pictures than reading screeds of text.

When you are sewing it is also easier to quickly glance down at a diagram to make sure you are still moving in the right direction.
