Hooray! Roman Blind

Today I have made a roman blind for the office that has been on my to do list for sometime. I had a massive office clear out in March here and slightly over reached myself time wise with a complete makeover.

At the time I made a paper crafting tidy and later in the year, which I never posted, a notice board for all my favourite postcards.





I used the ribbon from which my girl's clothkit pinafores were wrapped in which is marked out in inches. I had to take off most of my postcards to show you the board. I think you know the story by now but the material was given to me by a friend who had had bespoke curtains made and this was the leftovers! Do I craft in any other way?


So that is another job finished. Hooray! Jo x

    3 very well-made projects. You couldn't buy anything this good in the shops.

    Nice job! I've always wanted to try making a Roman shade. I love your Robert Smith postcard, by the way. :)

    Well done! I made a roman blind for our kitchen a few years ago. It nearly killed me off! Yours looks very professionally done and neat. x
