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

[@anniekingsbury2538]

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

[@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!

[@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. ❤️

[@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. 🤗

[@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!

[@rubykeiss1540]

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

[@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!

[@joburkham8890]

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

[@fairbewerten8374]

Well you both are best friends and I really love seeing human and animals being friends that love each other ❤️❤️❤️❤️that's the way it should be ❤️❤️❤️

[@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!

[@cannyaveit]

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

[@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!

[@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. 👍🏻❤️

[@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.

[@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.

[@frenchprovincial9602]

I wish everyone explained how to do things in a sensible way. No silly rambling on, or horrible music. Keep posting Debbie thank you.

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@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

[@naturalobserver]

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

[@MsJax1967]

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

[@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. 😊

[@ivorputnam5958]

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

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@alliehunter9896]

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

[@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.

[@judycuffy5825]

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

[@debbieshore]

Glad you liked it Judy!

[@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!

[@geministyling1199]

[@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]

[@qormi1000]

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

[@christinedobbing9093]

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

[@debbieshore]

+N.L. Legault Thanks!

[@lynndronfield-whitaker305]

You are so welcome!

[@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!

[@pennytaylor1592]

[@Kattmandu19]

Completely missed the tutorial as I was watching your adorable doggie the whole time. So sweet!🐶😂

[@lydiakinnaman1106]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@clairemcneela4803]

Absolutely brilliant! Clear and concise instructions! Can’t wait to try myself. Thanks

[@janesmith9950]

Loved the instructions and found to be explained well by you. Thank you.

[@ElizabethRodriguez-ku4ym]

Wonderful, you make it look so easy. I'm going to do this and watch this video again to get it right. Thumbs Up! Thanks!

[@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.

[@Seeker788]

best, direct, simple way to learn. Thankyou

[@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.

[@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.

[@esthermurphy8733]

Best instructions I've seen on KZbin so far.

[@debbieshore]

Thanks!

[@andreaboyle5185]

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

[@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 :)

[@Raspberry4600]

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

[@ivorputnam5958]

What a great tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to show us how to do this. You are going to save me a lot of money xx

[@carolinegoodchild8222]

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

[@Sooz3112]

Your dog is so cute by the way. It made me chuckle because when your dog barked at the postie - our post arrived at the same time! x

[@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.

[@alexf949]

I’m watching this video and my cat was next to me then he got startled when the dog barked. 🤣 I love how it didn’t phase you at all. Thank you for making this!!

[@cass1767]

Thank you so much Debbie, today I have completed my first Roman blind !... couldn't have done it without your fabulous video !...so easy to follow !....:-)

[@mattynoonan4428]

That was such a good tutorial! Well explained and easy to follow.

[@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.

[@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👍

[@claudiabenson6226]

Great video. No faffing. Clear instructions and you don't feel the need to make me watch you sew every seam 🤣 Keep up the good work - off to make it now 👍

[@margaretbermingham7860]

always thought this was beyond me,,,,cannot wait to go get the fabric,,,thank you so much for your effect.

[@judyranson7508]

Excellent video! Your instruction was so clear and easy to follow. I have already made two Roman shades. Thank you!

[@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.

[@racheltomlinson2257]

Love your assistant 😍 thank you for the subtitles, very easy to understand and follow. I much prefer your way of making the blinds to the inside out method. Thank you for sharing

[@canigetanemail]

Love this. So easy and clear that even the sewing part looks easy enough - professional looking results. Definitely will try this.

[@fionavidler5025]

Great tutorial. Very clear and easy to follow. I am making my 5th blind now since first watching your video and each one has worked perfectly and I'm so pleased with them, thanks to your excellent tutorial.

[@karenbaldry8096]

Thank you Debbie your video has been so helpful. Your home looks beautiful. Your a really good teacher xx

[@leahwatola4009]

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

[@karenpollard7781]

Brilliant. i followed you step by step and its turned out great. Thank you Debbie x

[@krysiadavis3253]

Thank you Debbie, fired me with enthusiasm to try this

[@mscupid804]

Excellent tutorial, the easiest I've found so far!

[@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

[@traceyferens2567]

So pleased to have found this Debbie, remember watching you on tv a few years ago, did buy your dvd Thankyou

[@lucypowell1795]

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

[@shahnazazam3658]

A perfect tutorial.you told every thing so humbly without any hurry I understood Atomic thank you very much lady . I'm your new subscriber

[@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!

[@JennyfromOhio]

You did a beautiful job Debbie! I'm making one a good deal wider so I will follow your suggestion of having center hoops as well. Thank you for such easy to follow instructions

[@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

[@mary12rose]

Very good instruction. I'm ready to tackle my project. Thank you.

[@sandramaggs]

This looks so easy. I can't wait to make it.

[@flowerchild777]

Wonderful, easy to follow instructions with demonstration; thank you very much🤗 Just what I was looking for.

[@nikkitrubetskaya]

[@martingillette7613]

Very nice and not very difficult at all. Thanks for this.

[@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
