I definitely would have done the same thing with centering the flowers! I ABSOLUTELY love the shade 😊

That's gorgeous with the floral and fabric chosen..."having a chic, pleated look." Beautiful.🌺🌿

Omg this shade and tutorial are a treasure! I'm kn the middme of a house reno and i have an awkward window in my bathroom. This is so great because it gives privacy, style and it looks quite manageable to make. Thank you! :)

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed! 🙌 I have odd shaped windows and got a quote for hundred for blinds so this has saved me 🙌

This is so straightforward. Thanks for sharing! I thought it would be but a couple other videos I watched weren’t so clear.

I love your version which is so much easier than the one I did with a friend but she was a professional drapery maker. I believe I can do this on my own, thanks. Jackie

Wow! This looks like the easiest video I have seen so far with making one of these. Thank you.

I love the fabric! Thanks for sharing , very clear instructions, I'll be making a few to keep the cold out this winter ❄️

This looks like a great project I can accomplish. Much better than other tutorials that are sooo complicated love it, and I think the way you're fabric pattern laid out looks beautiful. Thank you!

I have sewn a light fabric one like this before, using this same method... l would now like to make one out of heavier material... to screen light n summer heat out n kept winter heat in... been hesitating because it's hard to handle... lol ...thank you for the great refresher...

Christina, I like the print off center on the shade it really is very pretty & different in which I like. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.

Thank you for the easy step by step process for making Roman shades.

I made 2 yrs ago. I didn't use dowel rods just the rings. The rod is a great idea. THX for tutorial.

Great! I have make These before, but only lined. I have to make a single fabric blind, so have been looking for ideas which would save a bit more time and money. Your tutorial wis just what I was looking for. Thank you 😊

I watched several videos on how to make this. Looking for easy but also quality of the end product. This one is the best in my opinion. LOVE the fabric!

I will make these I think. Thank you so much for the great tutorial!

I will sooooo do this; looks so easy with great results. 😁

Absolutely lovely! The fabric is gorgeous and the design is great the way you have done it... i recently made a faux roman blind for a small 2nd window in my bedroom, using tension rods and gave it a fab pom pom trim - the blind is the same fabric as my curtains on the main big window so looks great together. I love roman blinds and your tutorial is easy to follow. Thanks for sharing 😘

Nice tutorial. I would have centered the pattern though. You could always piece together the scraps with a solid color for a pillow.

Like the fabric the way you cut it, I tend to like things offset.

off centre is great for me especially because the print is floral.

This was great, thank you. I have been thinking of making one for our kitchen ♥️♥️

I just finished making 3 for my bedroom windows. I used blackout lining as well on the back for better sleeping which is a little more complicated to make but then you don’t have the pleats on the front which looks nicer when they’re down, since they’re on the back side. But I only used two dowels and 4 would have made it look more structured. I also used Velcro on top so that I can remove them if they need to be cleaned. It also makes it easier to install them when you don’t have to have the whole blind in your face while screwing them in. I did one the way you did on top and the other two using Velcro and I am still undecided which way I want to go for my living room blinds. 🤔 I’ll have to see. I also didn’t use the attachment up top. I just used the eye hooks and use a cleat on the side to keep them up. Great tutorial! Thank you💕.

It's better to use polyester thread! And a seam gauge will help with more accurate hemming :) I've been wanting to make a set of roman shades for my dressing room. This is a nice, simple tutorial.

Love it, but where can I buy the electric staple gun?

Hi. Just found this one. If I understand right, you have 3 times to go through the left side. Note: have hearing problem so little hard to understand. Thank you. Yours look awesome.

Are you sewing rings around the dowel?

These work really great with blackout fabric, or a fabric for temperature control as a liner. My husband and I love a dark bedroom but we also love the extra privacy because the homes in our neighborhood are very close together.

@thediymommy

4 жыл бұрын

Yes! We love these for bedrooms as well!

I am wondering if making the spacing between the dowels slightly different (longer at the bottom to slightly shorter at the top), would the dowels sit layered under each other instead of resting on top of each other when the blind is up? Hope I explained that well enough.

The shade is very pretty. I like both of them and they are very different. I have made Australian Shades before. I was thinking about making some for our beach house. But the sun is so harsh, we have blackout drapes and keep them closed most of the day. We just had new windows installed. I'm curious to see how the electric bill is in the next couple months. We do keep the front windows opened so we can see the ocean and pelicans fly by several times a day. Once the morning sun is up a bit, say 10am or so, we can open the front ones and enjoy our view.

Can I use a tension rod instead?

I definitely want to try this. But I think instead of mounting it into a piece of wood, I’d rather use a tension rod, that way I can wash it or change it up if needed.

hummm ok love this butttttt, Do I when putting on the rope/ string ( I know bottom to top ) but then ( I'm sure ) don't cut just go to the next spot and string it through the next top to bottom I hope Im right. What if I wanted a middle pull.

I’ve been wanting to make 3 of these for my kitchen windows. Thanks for the tutorial. You made it seem so easy compared to written instructions. Did you use a lining for this shade? When you were showing the back of the fabric, it looked like you lined it. If so, how much smaller is you lining when you cut it out? It also looked liked you sewed the side hems over the lining keeping the lining attached to the fabric. Or am I way off base? Great job! I love your tutorials because you will sew when needed instead of using hot glue, giving the decor a more polished look. ❤️

@thediymommy

No, I didn't line it. That's just how the fabric looks - I think it's just the difference in my lighting as I shot the video. You can check out my printable instructions here - sometimes they're handy to follow along while watching the video: thediymommy.com/sew-a-diy-roman-shade/#jump

I'm looking to do this for our sliding glass door. Would this be doable for 80 inches in length? We live in an apartment and our littles (2 boys under 3) have pulled down the vertical blinds and we don't want to replace them until we leave.

Thanks Christine! I love this tutorial and am in the middle of making roman shades for my bathroom, kitchen, office and bedroom windows. I've got the shade for the bathroom almost done. The only thing you did not say in your video is approximately how long the cord should be. I'm cutting my extra long just so that I have enough.

I loved the video thank you but I too was confused by the string part which seemed like the most important part to go slower on. So you tie the end of string to the bottom right side..go up the rings across the top and down the left leaving 6 inches and tie it to that last ring THEN you tie another string to that end and pull it just up the left side and down again and tie that?

WOW! Christina is there anything you can't do? I absolutely love it. Looks perfect with all the white it really makes everything pop. I would love to try making one but, I'd screw it up for sure lol. BTW, beautiful home. Your wood floor is gorgeous! Did you put that in too?
