Joni:Those shades on the book cover look awesome. Am I wrong in assuming they must need to be lined?
mine are lined with a thin insulate fabric that lets the light shine through but still protects the fabric.

Patti, they're beautiful! Looks like stained glass. Did you line them?

OOPS! Should've read further. I lined mine with that as well.

What kind insulate lining do you use? Brand? where to purchase. The only insulate I know of is rather expensive (used to line heating pads, pot holders etc.
Joni, I made mine so many years ago from a pattern from Joanne's. I also bought the decorator fabric and insulate lining there. Hope this helps.
Thanks Marie...guess I will have to wait on insulated blinds...Roman Shades. Gonna check out Anna's and see if I can get some inexpensive insulated curtains...@ $9 each. I need at least 8 panels.
Patti,
These are beautiful, ive just had a brilliant idea, i will give you my address and then you can send me yours. :-)
lots of love

At JoAnn's I don't remember the brand. But I do remember having to iron it to shrink it before cutting it. It shrinks quite a bit. The book and probably the web site tells what it is If I remember correctly, you can buy it off the web site as well as other supplies.
Thanks all. I have actually only completed one of 4. Two others are ready except the hard ware. DH says it looks funny with only one window with a shade. So maybe I'll finish the other two this weekend.
I only started the project years ago.

Patti, of course you did. You can't be any different than the rest of us with UFOs. Hahaha

Yes i also have same question if they must need to be lined?
I just looking some info regarding in hand made roman blinds and i just find out that terrell Sundermann was definitely an expert in designing when it comes to window blinds.
Patti, love your shade...and the bear.
