A simple roman blind by Debbie Shore

[@anniekingsbury2538]

At last - clear concise instructions with no added waffle! I love this woman!

[@TheTitchywitchy]

Thank you, Debbie, I am not confident at sewing having only just taken up this hobby at the age of 69. I followed your very simple instructions for making this blind and I am absolutely thrilled with the result. This has given me much confidence I am now going to make the over arm sewing caddy and then on to a patchwork quilt.

[@debbieshore]

Thank you, glad you found it helpful!

[@suepopoff3159]

Hello, I just found this video, I also am an older sewer 71, we will have great fun learning. 🤗

[@margaretedebau2478]

Thank you so much. Great tutorial explained simply, clearly and accurately for a beginner to understand. No useless waffle, no stupid music! Thank you again!!

[@LGdop]

What a fantastic tutorial! It’s so nice to watch a no nonsense video, where things are clearly explained & demonstrated with the bits you don’t need to see edited out! It’s great to have a video that gets straight to the tutorial without any waffle at the start and with no music too - thank you Debbie! I feel confident in trying my much delayed Roman blind project after watching your video :) honestly this is easily the best video for Roman blinds I’ve come across

[@debbieshore]

Thank you so much!

[@lamiyahkenna6707]

Watching from Kenya. Am going to make this for my new cottage. Easy to understand. Thank you very much. Can't believe that was 10 years ago.

[@lcda.carmene.alfonsoarroyo2177]

ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS. SIMPLE AND CLEAR.

[@jacquesslabbert1092]

I saved this video many many months ago and guess what, yet another perfect Debbie tutorial and I made one for my slim tallish window on the landing on my stairs to the upper level. And it came our perfectly. Thanx Debs!

[@rubykeiss1540]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial in real time. You explain each step succinctly and clearly. Thank you so much Debbie.👏👏👏💖

[@annettestanley2148]

This is the fourth blind I have made using this tutorial. Simple to follow, fantastic! Thank you! :) Making my daughter's seaside themed blind, she loves it!

[@dawngosling8792]

Thank you. We didn't have to hear about you became interested in Roman Blinds or what your family did last summer!!! I thought as a complete NOVICE that I could do this with you at the other end of my table. It was clear, relaxed (love your dog!) non patronising,. Thank you

[@elfchick2264]

Best RS tutorial I have watched yet. I probably won’t have to watch another because I will follow your design. Thank you very much, you’re quite lovely to watch and listen to. 👍🏻❤️

[@annshoebridge9243]

I recently washed my Roman blind and am having a nightmare trying to re-thread it. I've watched an unbelievable amount of videos and have gotten myself in a real mess! Your video makes perfect sense - the only one I've watched that does - so thank you so much and fingers crossed that I can re-hang my blind successfully.

[@joburkham8890]

I love your easy way of this. Also your blinds are Beautiful. I love all your videos. Thanks

[@shirleyporter9025]

Thanks for that, a really straight forward, easy to use tutorial. Very clear and no unnecessary rambling, loved watching your dog taking an interest :)

[@debbieshore]

+Shirley Porter Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@carolhiesrodt6457]

I just love your choices of materials. It so easy to understand your directions. My daughter said that she is trying to make a cute hand bag. I asked if was Debbie Shore, and she was surprised that I knew without looking. I watch you all the time. I am getting back to my sewing after 40 yrs. It took me a long time, but I got my First Brand New Sewing. Machine.

[@flootentooten2801]

This is incredible. I have seen so many tutorials that are overly complicated, but this was so easy to follow and make myself. I am a novice sewer so thanks for this simple yet effective tutorial!

[@Carylanne927]

TY sew much Debbie for another great creative informative tutorial. I've wanted a Roman Blind for many years, however the cost was not in my budget. Now I can make my own AND have the colors I want in that room instead of what is offered at the stores. thanks again for leading us into our own design elements.

[@geministyling1199]

a great tutorial, this is my first attempt at a roman blind and a lot simpler way of adding the poles than other tutorials, great explanation, thank you

[@wendyhewings9657]

Thank you Debbie, I had looked at written instructions, and got a bit confused, so thought never mind I won't bother, seeing this tutorial, everything now makes sense, feel I could do that, so much better to see and copy,will be making two blinds for bathroom and loo, thanks for your wonderful tutorials.

[@judycuffy5825]

You make that look so easy. Thanks for your version of making a roman blind. Really simple.

[@debbieshore]

Glad you liked it Judy!

[@janetrebman3470]

Great video, thank you so much! I like how yours are done in such a way that they could be deconstructed enough to take them down and wash them and put them back up.

[@JoyMaxwell-lz8ed]

Thank you Debbie for all the reasons already mentioned :) Thanks to you I've just finished my first Roman Blind. I divided the fabric into equal thirds but was not so keen on the bottom third hanging down so added two more rings at the bottom, at the seam where the outer fabric is turned in. That fixed it. It now tucks under the other two folds when up. I didn't add another rod. I also sewed the tape onto the lining fabric before I hand sewed the two pieces together. I made my own tape the same as the lining fabric. I stopped short leaving 3cm at each end which I hand sewed onto the folded-over edge as I went round hand sewing the two pieces together. I used a plain fabric and didn't want the stitching to show. I couldn't find Roman Blind rods in the shops (NZ) but did find some fiberglass tent rods in our garage which were just right for size and weight. Very happy to recycle to them and even better than buying some! I'm really pleased with it. Next time, if there is one, I'll divide the fabric as you did. Thanks again, Joy.

[@n.l.legault458]

You are an excellent teacher! I am a "non-sewer" who managed to make beautiful blinds following your video. Bravo and merci!

[@debbieshore]

+N.L. Legault Thanks!

[@lynndronfield-whitaker305]

My first attempt at making a Roman blind. So glad I found your video. Thank you for the clear instruction and demonstration.

[@debbieshore]

You are so welcome!

[@marciepoole3701]

Thank you so much for the Sharon this is a great blind and I think I will be making this for my new house

[@tearoharundstrom4838]

What an absolutely awesome video to watch and learn from. You did such a fantastic job, in explaining everything. I really did not know how to make Roman Blinds. I really want to try making our blinds. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all to us.

[@debbieshore]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ivorputnam5958]

So nice to watch a tutorial with no silly music. Debbie is so relaxed and the video is great. Thank you.

[@gamiegabriel2079]

Debbie shore I love all of your video tutorial so easy to follow. I learn a lot from you so thank you for sharing.

[@debbieshore]

Its a pleasure!

[@ChrisMum]

Thank you for explaining how to make this look so easy! I buy material and never get started on any projects, I must try now. Thank you.

[@jaynechatterton5577]

Having watched your amazing tutorial, I was able to make a blind for my hallway. If I can do it, anyone can!! Thank you

[@carolinewright7844]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT video, thank you so, so much. I did soft furnishings 30 years ago and just needed a refresher and this was 10/10. You choose the perfect window to demonstrate, camera ALWAYS pointed in correct position and very clear instructions and reasons. SUPERB thank you 🙏👏👏👏👏👍❤️

[@debbieshore]

Thank you!

[@cannyaveit]

My Mum used this video to make a Roman blind, and I will next. Thanks so much making this video!

[@qormi1000]

Excellent video Debbie. Thank you so much. You explain steps very simply. I love all your videos.

[@nikkivarton5659]

Thank you for your clear and detailed instructions. I've been making my own window treatments for many years but always appreciate a refresher course before doing a project I haven't done in a while.

[@seaside2001]

The best part of Debbie's videos is the 'big dog" helping her. So cute.

[@naturalobserver]

You so demystified this whole process for me. Thank you!

[@christinedobbing9093]

Amazing video so well explained Debbie it seems so much less complicated than I thought. Thank you.

[@prudencerogers]

Wow! The very first tutorial I looked at and it was brilliant!! So easy to understand, I will start my blind as soon as I get the velcro! Love your furbaby too, hope he didn't bite the postie.

[@pennytaylor1592]

So very glad to have watched your video before attempting to make the blinds! Thank you!

[@debbieshore]

+Penny Taylor Glad you found it helpful!

[@MsJax1967]

Just found this video and can't wait to make this blind. Thanks for such an easy to follow instruction!

[@pennystephens5254]

Thankyou so much Debbie - at last a tutorial that's easy to follow and makes me feel I can actually do this. Keep them coming....

[@debbieshore]

Thank you!

[@Janet8925]

yes! she has the best video I've seen! I've looked at a lot! They were either not good, to much, and one lady didn't even finish the video! So yes Thanks Debbie!

[@girlzf1072]

I wanted to say this is the best tutorial I found and I made 4 blinds so far. I appreciate the way you made it so easy and described so well how to do this. I love your dog too, I am sure she? was very helpful too :)

[@manumandiezfrost]

This is fantastic. Thank you. I can't understand why some people have disliked this? You're very clear and this method is very easy to follow. Tonight you've saved me $210.00 for just one roman blind from a retailer here in NZ. I will definitely be attempting this for four of my windows at home ❤

[@debbieshore]

Thank you!

[@leahwatola4009]

Debbie I have no idea how to do it, you make it so easy. Thanks so much.

[@carolinegoodchild8222]

Made 2 blinds now. Referred to this tutorial on Both occasions. Clear to the point thankyou

[@andreaboyle5185]

This was so helpful with good instructions and clear voice. Thank you. Loved your dog getting in on the act..

[@KarinVorster]

Thank you for your tutorial. I am going to try this out and provide some feedback. It would be a great idea to list all the items needed to complete this project (shopping list) and get a closer view of some of the materials you are using so that it makes it easier to identify these items when shopping. Cannot wait to create my first Roman Blind :)

[@Janet8925]

I'm watching, have my material, but need a few extra things! I'll let you know how mine turns out! Great tutorial on how to do this Roman Shade! I've looked at so many and they just did not help me so I'm so happy with this! Can't wait to finish mine! Thanks again Debbie

[@defleppard-lover6298]

I think your dog is understanding everything your saying....reminds me of my fur baby- she needs to be beside me all the time. 😊

[@patricialavender2902]

Aww! Your lovely dog makes a great assistant. Yes, great instructions. Am definitely going to try to make a blind like this.

[@Dibdib35]

Debbie, thank you so much for this. I have always wanted to be able to make these and now I know how. You are so good at explaining things to make them easy to understand!! Love, love love your videos.....and your dog lol.

[@Raspberry4600]

Nice job, Debbie! Cute dog and the Roman blinds are lovely! Thanks!

[@albairisvelazquez8630]

Very nice you explained everything clearly and simple and easy to follow through and I love how your dog sits so quietly in the chair listening so cute👍

[@rainskitchenandgarden]

You're a gem Debbie. Thank you so much. I have 7 windows to "curtain" and I really wanted to do Roman blinds. Your tutorial is SO easy and down to earth. It's really hard to find any roman blind kit nowadays, but I now have an arsenal of a list and I know I'll find everything I need. Thanks so much again!!! I can't wait to get going on this! :)

[@debbieshore]

Glad to be of help!

[@esthermurphy8733]

Best instructions I've seen on KZbin so far.

[@debbieshore]

Thanks!

[@Karen-zh2yh]

I'm about to make my first blind using this tutorial. Loved it. Thankyou!

[@libbydale9617]

I really don't know why I bother watching other sewing tutorials on KZbin. Debbie Shore, you sure know your stuff! You explain everything in such a way that a novice, such as myself, can understand. Thank you. You are truly amazing. ❤️

[@Sooz3112]

I'm tempted to give this a try. I've looked online and they charge quite a lot of money for a 'learn to sew' these types of blinds. I love your top too, I'm looking for sewing patterns for blouses at the moment and it's the very same style that I'm looking for. It's such a classic shape. The blind looks amazing x

[@janaforsythart5745]

This is such a good video, I made several blinds over the years using this way of doing it and they turned out great, thank you!!

[@lydiakinnaman1106]

Beautiful doggie, so cute just watching and learning how to make the blind.

[@dashcraft2]

Thank you for the tutorial! Between your video and the sailright video, I was able to make the perfect roman shade for my bathroom window.

[@jillsmith4749]

Thank you just hanging two blinds in my kitchen at the moment following your excellent instructions. Both blinds different sizes and I love the hand sewn look you showed me have always made by turning through before this looks so much neater really pleased

[@debbieshore]

I'm so glad you found the video helpful!

[@lucypowell1795]

Excellent clear instructions that give me the confidence to have a go. Thank you

[@CowboyGirl007]

love your little girl watching you like she understands what you're doing..sweet

[@moniqueradford9486]

Thank you Debbie for this fabulous easy to follow tutorial. You're a very clear communicator and the instructions are step by step. I will be use your video this week to tackle two roman blinds i have put off for over a year! Thank you so much. And hello from NZ.

[@lindajones7219]

Well Well WEll Thankyou so much Debbie .I am only a two bit sewer finding it difficult to use a sewing machine cos of severe arthritis. I knit all kinds of patterns. embroidery. make beautiful cushions etc I had admired beautiful Roman blinds at friends home thinking oh I wish I could make them >So you are heaven sent I have made my first blind hand sewn took a while followed your perfect instructions and have a lovely blind off to make a 4 foot blind now. Thankyou so very much my blind looks perfect P.S. I could understand the rings you put on to thread the strings through

[@debbieshore]

Hi Linda, so glad your blinds worked out well!

[@726JeNaya]

This was such a helpful and straightforward tutorial. Thank you. The great part about it is you can make so many different fabric designs and use different ones and pop them on the Velcro slab if you'd like. I think this will be a great project for me to start.

[@helenfisher1295]

Perfectly explained. Hope my blind looks as good.

[@nickeehoughting3762]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been "making" Roman Blinds for my houses over the last 20 years and each time I do them differently as they never turned out quite right, well now I don't have to as this works perfectly ! I have made two blinds in the last 3 days, one small and one 4 ft wide and they both look amazing. Love the doggy too :)

[@wmperkins25]

Ms. Shore, Thanks for your easy to understand video, I am in the process of making Roman shades for my living room and found your tutorial very helpful and easy to follow- plus your presentation was very pleasant to listen to. Thanks for taking the time to show how it's done - Mr. Perkins

[@debbieshore]

King Perkins Glad you liked it, thank you.

[@quinquiunica]

Thank you very much for sharing! I want to make some roman shades for our bedroom, and I was searching for a "DIY" video, with no specific gadgets, and then your video is the ultimate right answer for me! You explain all very well and clear, which is excellent since I'm not english native speaker! Thank you very much again!!! Worth watching video! :D

[@cindy.thissnowmanisadorabl2245]

I am going to try this method. It looks very easy.thank you so much. I love your videos.

[@philippadillon4074]

Watching from Australia. Thank you for the inspiration and guidance. I had never attempted any home decor, just a little simple sewing. I have just finished a much larger roman blind for my daughter's room, and your tutorial was particularly helpful as I used blackout fabric, so needed to construct the rod pockets on the reverse with cotton tape. I must say collecting the materials needed was a challenge, but I know my craft and hardware stores a little better now. All set to do my son's window. Maybe I can work my way around all the windows! All up much less expensive than getting a professional decorator. And more fun! Thank you!!

[@debbieshore]

[@clairemcneela4803]

Thank you Debbie. Very nicely explained, I appreciate your time and talent

Fab tutorial Debbie, many thanks for making the job relatively easy for me. I’ve now made two roller blinds, one for the kitchen door (with blackout lining) and one for our bathroom window. Both made from curtains I bought at a charity shop. X
