Quite a while ago we did some rennovations on our home and one of them was a workroom for me. We used to have an extra room with a jaccuzi in it that we never used. So we decided to let the jaccuzi go to a friend and turn the room into a workroom for me! I love this room, so much warmth and sunshine flowing through the windows... What I haven't done yet is hang any curtains. So I decided to make Roman blinds myself and so far it is all working out! Thank goodness!
I have started with the smallest window in the room first, to see how it goes and I used this wonderful tutorial which really helped, and I can actually do this:) I even matched up the flowers on the side. ( Gasp) Ok, I know I am going on and on, but I knit and haven't really done much sewing,(which I am planning to change, I might add) and this blind actually fits the window, so there is hope for me as far as sewing goes...
I attached the lining and the tape for the strands of chord, now I just need to buy some wood for the bottom and the top and we are basically done:)
