Unlined Relaxed Roman Shades

These are the window treatments in my master bedroom....casual.
The relaxed roman shades are made of medium weight linen. and flanked by stationary unlined panels.  I wanted a very easy feel to just enhance the view.




I trimmed the edges with this golden stripe.....
perfect when the sun comes up in the morning.



This set of Unlined Roman Shades  were a bit mind buggling.  Well I am filling an order for 4 shades
with Greek Key Trimmed edges.  My customer provided the fabric, a very beautiful and weighty linen and also the trim. How would I finish them in a professional way? I asked.  When I was a seamstress (making women's clothing) I preferred the look of lined garments.  It fitted better and lasted longer.  I feel the same about my window treatments.  I love the finished look and feel of lined products not to mention when interlined...luxury!

 Although I would love to share some of my secrets of the trade, I realized that selling on Etsy has become exceeding competitive with sellers underselling at ridiculous prices.  So I have to keep an edge on everyone as much as I can, trying to out run them with the quality of my products.




Well back to the shades I am making.  One thing I will share though, I always pray before I start and during my constructions.  I came up with a clever way to make these shades and they turned out beautiful, if I may say so my self.
