Q&A for How to Make a Roman Shade

I think it would be the perfect solution for a window that gets full sun, especially in warm climates.

Because you'll then see the rows of stitching on the front of the blind. It might work with a highly-patterned fabric that would hide the stitching, but on a plain fabric it would look bad when the blind is down.

Yes. I recommend attaching with an L-shaped metal bracket. Note that you will want to cover all sides of the top piece of wood with liner fabric, as the sides will now be visible. I also added a simple finished (and lined) piece of the shade fabric to hang down on each side to cover the wood and the eyelets from the side view.

I believe you can use the same fabric you are using as your lining fabric. There's fabric that's designed specifically as lining fabric, or you can use something lighter than the fabric you are using for the shade itself.

You can use roman blinds for almost every type of glass or window. You hang the blinds inside, so it does not matter if it is double glazed. They are hung using brackets, which are available at any hardware store.

Yes! I have made Roman shades for 3 different sized windows that are wider than they are tall. All worked out perfect.
