The previous owners left their roman shades in the kitchen and as much as I hated the fabric/pattern, I actually kept them up. I have this strange fear of staring out into darkness. I’m fine with not having any shades or curtains during the day when I can actually see outside, but once the sun goes down - shades down, curtains untied! It’s all paranoia since I’m pretty sure no one is lifeless enough to watch me from outside. I don’t know, I just don’t like it. Maybe I’ve seen way too many horror flicks.

Anyway, I finally bought some fabric (thanks IKEA) and gave the shades a little makeover. I wasn’t about to sew Roman Shades from scratch - although I have looked it up online and it looks like a project that a semi-novice sewer could tackle.

I basically ripped it apart, to sew it all back together again. Luckily the fabric/pattern that I hated was only the front part and was able to salvage the back part which was just a plain ivory thickish fabric.

If you are looking for a versatile, unique and downright gorgeous window treatment, think Roman Shades, you won’t be disappointed. But just what is a Roman Shade?

Basically a roman shade is a style of window treatment consisting of a fabric shade with wood slats which are inserted horizontally at intervals down the length of the shade. However, some newer roman shades do not have the slats because of the advent of new sheer, lightweight fabrics. A roman shade can be raised or lowered via a pull cord. But unlike a mini blind, the fabric gathers or folds (like an accordion) as you raise the shade depending on the style: flat fold (gathers) or hobbled fold (folds), also known as teardrop style.

Roman shades are known by many names: fabric shades, romanesque shades, roman window shades, roman pleated shades, and more. They are also known as roman blinds but this is mostly a misnomer because blinds technically have slats or louvers (vanes) like mini blinds and shutters that can be opened to allow in light or closed for privacy. Shades roll-up or fold-up.

Roman shades adorn windows to block the sun or to give privacy. Traditional Roman shades are cut from rectangular fabric and fall straight down. When its string is pulled, the Roman shade raises in regularly spaced panels. You can also use sheer fabrics create a soothing, warm light from a bright sun.

Roman shades are one of the most inexpensive types of window treatment. This doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t find deals to make them even cheaper. If you are making your own shades, for example, keep on the lookout for fabric on sale. Since the Roman shade is made mostly from fabric, you can significantly cut the cost. Online fabric stores have searchable fabric clearance sections, and your local fabric store will have regular fabric sales. If you have a fabric theme or color, wait until the season ends to shop for fabric. If, for example, you want dark green Roman shades, wait until after Christmas to find cheap fabric. Also ask retailers for scraps of fabric. Roman shades do not require much fabric, and you could easily decorate a small window with a large fabric scrap.

Roman shades can add simple elegance to any room in your house. Your Roman Shades can be made of varied fabrics and different textures. You can add some pizazz to inexpensive Roman shades that you buy at the store by making some creative changes to them and to the area directly around your windows.

•Sew on attachments to the shades themselves. You can make a fabric border for the shade that is in a contrasting color, a patterned fabric that enhances the main color of the shade, or a fabric in a color that is a few shades lighter or darker than the shade. Add store bought tassels to the bottom hem of the shade, or you can make your own tassels from extra yarn you have on-hand. You could also decorate the shade for a theme room or for an approaching holiday. For instance, you can sew big buttons onto the Roman shades in a random pattern if the shades are on your sewing room windows. For a nursery, try using iron-on baby-themed appliqués. Iron-on appliqués are sold at all fabric stores and come in lots of different designs. You can also make your own appliqués by cutting out appropriate designs from scrap fabric you have at home. You can try spray gluing them onto the shades, or stitching the designs to the Roman Shades.
