How to Make Roman Blinds Like a Professional

Find out more about the course in this video


The course takes you on a step by step journey of making a Roman Blind in the same way that a professional Soft Furnisher would; a blind with no visible machine stitching on the front, with interlining inside and seams finished by hand.

It contains detailed instructions of how to construct a Roman Blind, as well as all of the decision making required to size, hang and operate your blind. You'll find instructions with clear step by step photographs, videos, beautiful illustrations and downloadable sheets to guide you through the process.
