They’ve held up great, but I haven’t had a need to wash them yet. I’m sure they’d be fine with a little spot cleaning if necessary though!

I too have that tutorial pinned, and have been contemplating giving it a try. We have the same blinds as you, the thicker, not $3 ones, and I wasn’t sure how it would work.

Thanks for giving it a try, and by the look of things, it looks GREAT!!

How have they been holding up? If you want to wash them, is it possible?

SO glad I stumbled on your blog today, what a treat!

Have a wonderful day, and stop by anytime to say hello if you can.
P.s. After coming back from an extended blogging break, I’ve started a 40 day challenge to get HEALTHY by my birthday. If you get a chance to check it out, I could sure use the support!
Hugs, Bella :)

We made our own set of roman blinds and decided ‘never again’ once it was completed. It was a fun experience, but it just takes waaaaay too long. It’s actually more worth my time to work a few more hours and just pay someone to do it. We prefer to focus on the manual labour items like drilling, scraping, painting and leave the sewing to professionals (or our mothers ;))

Love what you’ve done with your house by the way. Well done!

Namaste,
Dave

Now I’m wondering if roman shades would be a better option, maybe with pom pom trim at the bottom…
Thanks for the link and inspiration!

I had seen the tutorial before, and wanted to give it a try. However, my lack of patience stopped me from attempting this diy project, and I instead purchased roman shades from JCP pretty cheap after sales and free shipping = ) While I’m happy to have the privacy, I do not like them much.

Thanks for sharing!
