Work is busy

Just finished these roman shades... There were two of these.  This fabric made some pretty shades but was a little bit difficult on the pattern. It has two definite rows of design that made up the pattern that ran up the fabric. In the center the pattern was not as heavy. Due to the size of the shades I kept having what visually looked like lop sided shades LOL... But I was able to get it all worked out to where the pattern looked balanced on the shades and they matched.

                                           Hand sewn side hems

Ladder tape enclosing the cord, this is per ANSI safety regulations for roman shades. This prevents a choking hazard to children. Rings are place every 8" which is also a regulation.

Warning labels go on every shade that leaves the work room, in English and Spanish per ANSI safety regulations. 

Lots of safety regulations to follow these days.

I think you will agree the pattern looks balanced and not heavy to one side. I am almost embarrassed to admit how long it took me to figure the placement. It looks simple in the photo but as I said there was space in the center that was created by two rows of pattern running up the fabric, its sort of hard to explain. 

I think they turned out really nice.
