I'm wondering if I used velvet and lined it, could I still fold to make the pockets for the dowels? So many sites say make separate ones, which is so much more work.patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682058671014153329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793837459767025265.post-37427110419201246552015-06-02T16:57:54.163-07:002015-06-02T16:57:54.163-07:00Do you mind me asking how much this cost you to ma...Do you mind me asking how much this cost you to make?

Thanks for...I followed a link here from Pinterest. Thanks for creating these detailed and simple to understand instructions. I enjoy sewing and am a pretty decent seamstress when it comes to clothing, but for some reason, Roman blinds had me stumped. Probably because I've never seen them in person before, so I didn't understand how they functioned until reading your tutorial. Other websites gave instructions with pictures of the final product, but never enough of the details for me to understand the construction. I've seen some crazy complicated versions as well. One site had you cut out separate fabric strips to hem and sew onto the back of the curtain to create the casings for the dowel rods! What a lot of unnecessary effort! One read through of your blog and I feel ready to go home and tackle this project from memory. It's that simple... Now that I *get* it.

When you sewed the rings to the pockets, it looks like you sewed through the seam. Did you? I'm trying to figure out how the stitching doesn't show from the front. I really want to try this, and I'm wondering if it's possible to make them BIG, like 60" wide. Do you know if it would work? Do you think it's possible to use 3 strings or if it would just be too complicated. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that.
