CraftsSewingHow to Make Roman Shades How to Make Roman Shades Roman shades pull up in sections with the help of a traverse cord or Roman shade cord (both available at a crafts store). Roman shades look elegant and streamlined in either the up or down position. You’ve probably seen Roman shades starting at $65 or $75 apiece in window treatment catalogs. By following these instructions, you can create a Roman shade without most of the characteristic hassle (and for much less of the cost). This shade mounts above the top of the trim mold and descends to the windowsill, so keep this in mind when planning and measuring. You need the following supplies to make these shades: A piece of fabric that is about 4 inches wider than your window, and 16 inches longer 7 yards of traverse cord or Roman shade cord You’ll need to divide your cord in two.

One piece should measure the height of your window plus the top length plus a few inches, because you’ll be threading that piece of cord up the left side and over the top to meet the other cord on the top-right side of the shade. The other piece should measure the height of your window, plus a few inches. Five 30-inch wooden dowels One piece of 1-x-2-inch wood The length of the wood needs to be the same as your window’s width. 14 1/4-inch screw eyes 1 cleat (a metal device for tying up your shade cord) Iron and ironing board Screws or nails (for attaching the shade) Sewing machine and appropriate color heavy-duty thread Staple gun with 3/8-inch staples To create your shades, follow these steps: Cut your fabric to the appropriate size. For a 30-x-60-inch window, use a 32-x-76-inch piece of fabric. Hem the sides of your shade fabric by pressing the fabric on each side 1/2 inch and folding in another 1/2 inch, and then sewing along the edges.

Hem the bottom of your shade by pressing the fabric 1/2 inch and folding up 2 inches, and then sewing along the edge. From the bottom finished hem of your shade fabric, chalk lines across the front; measure up 10 inches and mark, and then measure another 2 inches and mark. Continue this pattern to the top. You have five sets of lines that are 2 inches apart. With your sewing machine, stitch the lines that are 2 inches apart together, creating small sleeves in the back of your shade. With a hammer and nails or screws, attach your 1 x 2 board above your window. On the underside of the board, attach four screw eyes, allowing for 10 inches between each one, regardless of your window size. Using your staple gun, attach the top of your shade to the top of the 30-inch board. Make sure that you fold the fabric under at the top, and check that the shade reaches the bottom of your window. Attach screw eyes to the ends of each dowel. Insert the dowels into each sleeve.
