This course will teach you the techniques to make a roman blind. We will be making a small scale version of a roman blind to show you the processes involved. You will learn how to cut the fabric and lining, work out where to place pockets, hand-stitching including stab stitches, and finally a demonstration of how to string a roman blind. At the end of the course you will have a basic understanding of how to make a roman blind and how to use the hardware so you can make all your own blinds for your home.
Please note you will be making a sample blind to our measurements.
