About the Class
Learn how to make a professionally finished Roman blind in this practical one-day workshop. Roman blinds are a classic window treatment and, once you understand the construction, you can adapt the same techniques to make blinds for any window in your home. During the workshop you will sew a small sample Roman blind, allowing you to learn all of the essential techniques in a manageable format. Working at this smaller scale means we can cover the full process in one day, while giving you the knowledge and confidence to go on and make full-size blinds at home. By the end of the workshop you will understand how Roman blinds are constructed and how to apply the same methods to blinds of any size.
