Making Roman Blinds | How To | The Curtain Boutique

[@renfrewcalgary2830]

This is by far the best tutorial I’ve found, and in just 25 minutes! You don’t know what it means to someone like me... My mother got sick and passed during the pandemic, all we did together is sew. I’ve learned so much from her since childhood and she’s gone to soon. Having access to lessons like this truly helps the situation. Thank You 🤗

[@tcbtutorials]

I am so sorry for your loss, I hope my tutorials will be of some comfort to you xx

[@linsimpson5916]

I've just spend time watching a few different videos on Roman blinds and this is hands down the best method I have seen! I love the way you make the rod pockets and hand stitch quite a lot of the blind. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I look forward to seeing more of your tutorials.

[@SuzanneTiehm]

This is hands down the best tutorial on how to make a Roman blind that I’ve seen. The music didn’t bother me but you have such a lovely soft voice that I see how some could have trouble hearing you. Keep the music or cut the music as you like! You’ve done those of us who watched a massive favor by showing us how to properly make a lovely window treatment.

[@tcbtutorials]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment x

[@lindamcgough3645]

Best tutorial ever for professional Roman Blinds! 👍

[@trixiebelden8197]

This was a work of art! So enjoyable to watch and I could follow exactly the way you worked, measured, sewed,...it was sonsatisfying to see an artisan like yourself produce something so beautiful. Thanks to the close ups of your hand stitching, I have learnt the right way to sew closed my hand made tailors ham and sleeve roll. Thank you so much 💐

[@kaebella2259]

The amount of work is crazy - but worth the results! Very beautiful craftsmanship!

[@carolynbrooks9278]

this is the best tutorial on anything sewing that I've found. I have two blinds to make and have bought kits with the cassette but your tips on rod pockets etc will make all the difference to give a professional finish. It was totally relaxing to watch you - I actually quite like the music! thank you.

[@aikaterinigeorgiadou9992]

Even if i don't understand your language, this is a very detailed tutorial. Thank you very much!!!

[@kayeswenneker94]

One of the best tutorials I've seen on making roman blinds....thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Thank you so much....and yes I agree...hand sewing is sO therapuetic

[@zzzsydneyhom1379]

Thank you so much for your generosity. You make it look easy and give me the confidence to try, knowing full well that your skills were hard won and I'll fall short, but I'll press on happily regardless.

[@dianeleif3491]

Agreed, best tutorial. I have never made a roman shade but have understood the mechanics. You spoke to us not at us. I thoroughly enjoyed your wealth of knowledge and so appreciate the finely professional finish of your work! Hand sewing is very satisfying. You are a gem! Thank you!

[@cathynuytten798]

Best tutorial. I really like that you use your iron. It is the best tool to keep things perfectly lined up! Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@christineord6928]

This is the best Roman Blind making video I have found. A clear explanation that is easily understood. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

[@ameliacorin7383]

Great clip! One tip that really helps, using a T-square or carpenters triangle to ensure your bottom hems are exactly 90% on the sides or else they won't hang right. Learnt this the hard way when the first blind I made didn't hand well due to the low hem and sides not being 90%.

[@aikaterinigeorgiadou9992]

Hi Sandie!! I'm Katherine from Greece. Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot!! Have a great day!!

[@thedonnellyfamily]

I had been looking for a step by step tutorial before I attempt my daughter's blind, and this is perfect. Thank you so much!

[@msdixie1972]

That sweet, tidy hand sewing at the bottom...reminds me of hand-sewing on a quilt binding. I love it.

[@annenelson8907]

I love the craftsmanship in your work and the way so much is hand done with care - so little plastic/glue/iron ons/shortcuts. It's really nice and I'm now actually looking forward to the project in front of me! Thank you!

[@charlesconibear8821]

I found this tutorial very useful and have now completed my first blind using material I already had. I used loop tape from the kit I bought but sewed this to the lining material and then carried on using the no show stitching method. It has been really satisfying.

[@charlottethorne8720]

So helpful. Watched this and now have the courage to start on my blind (I’ve made Roman blinds before but not for a looooong time), and have referred back to this for each step.. so far, so good! THANK YOU x

[@Tstergirl]

I have been sitting on the fence about making these for my own home. I love, love, LOVE this tutorial. By far, the best one I've seen so far; and your whole demeanor is amazing. My mother was an upholsterer as well as worked for Hugo Bosca until she retired. Most people think that, since she was so amazing at it, I would be as well. To be honest, I'm not a 'seamstress' at all as much as I'm a hand sewer. You have inspired me and I will keep coming back for more tutorials. Thank you so much!!

[@tcbtutorials]

You are so welcome!

[@nannydixon4505]

great tutorial and I was listening so much to Sandie's instructions I didn't even notice there was music !!!

[@5heinens]

This is so detailed and you are so easy to listen to! You are really an excellent teacher! I feel like I could actually do this project! Thank you!

[@aaronowens4491]

Your videos are awesome.. please make more.. we love watching you and your techniques.. thanks for sharing..

[@LK-vl6dv]

You are such a good teacher. Thank you for an excellent tutorial.

[@sanchapowell8222]

Wow. You make a fantastic teacher and I've had a few!Lol. Thank you so much. Makes sense now.

[@elainesharpe6383]

Thank you for such a detailed video on Roman Shades. I will make my first attempt at Roman Shades based upon what have shown and said. I don't subscribe to many channels but I have subscribed to yours. Thank you very much!

[@gleanicebrown3161]

Great video!! I heard the music, but it wasn't distracting at all. Thank you and love your technique!!

[@bordershader]

Superb, so easy to follow - but definitely on the advanced end of the skill level I'd say. I can imagine some beginners struggling! Excited to get going on my own blinds now, thanks v. 👍

[@ginafaena7725]

It was a pleasure watching a master at work. Thank you for sharing. I loved that you did your nails for the bit about the mechanism. :)

[@ValerieRichardson-rj9lo]

Absolutely brilliant. You make it so easy, Thank you. I'd love to see a little tutorial for a Relaxed Roman Blind as there seem to be a few options on the type of swag. Thank you

[@simonap.s4977]

After i scrolled on yourube trying to find the best tutorial, i came across this one.thank you!! Finally a person that talks in cm and not inches. I was so lost trying to convert all those inches to cm so i can understand what i need to do.

[@llbarr]

That was a lovely DIY video. You are so detail oriented! Amazing quality in the work. Loved it!!

[@teresamoretti]

Thank you for your generosity- sharing your skills and knowledge and rebuilding my confidence in my own abilities. You are a gem! Thank you again. Teresa

[@annemcpherson6142]

You make it look so easy... what a absolute pro, Thank you

[@christinebryant9143]

Thank you for your video. I am now in Roman blind no 7 . I made one 2 metres tall for a picture window. Now making 2 x 2 metres wide for my son. He wanted black out linings and it is not pleasant to sew but neatly finished. Thanks again.

[@sandydouglas2914]

So professional and beautiful . Hello from America !!!!

[@lydiabukachi5246]

I’m learning , thank you, well detailed tutorial.

[@annecain3301]

Thank you. I did find the music irritating but it did not detract from your clear, easy to follow demonstration of how to make a Roman Blind. Kindest regards.

[@roxydoodles6446]

Brilliant I have been searching for someone to do great tutorials ... very happy thank you for your time and your knowledge xx

[@bethserran]

Great video tutorial!! Love watching your step by step demo. Looks very complicated making Roman Shades, but you make it look challenging and interesting. Thank you for sharing.

[@donnaharrington3850]

Very nicely done! You are a pro for sure, with all of your time-saving tips. I enjoyed watching and learning. Thank you!

[@cindydevos1763]

Thanks so much this is so helpful and I didn't notice the music either as I was listening to Sandie and watching.. I'm just about to stitch my pockets :-)

[@hk8489]

What a brilliant tutorial! Love the attention to detail. Looking forward to making my first Roman blind!

[@louisebarrett3619]

Brilliiant tutorial, I'm about to start my very first Roman Blind and will keep referring back, having also made lots of notes.

[@louisebarrett3619]

I've now made three blinds, this tutorial has been invaluable. Thank you.

[@helenpayton791]

I love your tutorial. How you measure from the top, locking in the rod pockets. A professional at work, thank you. I have a question, how did you figure out where to place the rod pockets?

[@julietekell4057]

This tutorial was so wonderful and well made! Thank you!!!

[@Barneymum]

Much appreciate the help! Thank you for the clear and concise instructional video. How do you calculate the measurement of where the rods should be?

[@georginaclinton2511]

Yes It see my Ed to skip that part About calculating the measurements for rod Pockets.

[@christinecarrasco5488]

Thank you so much for your patience😍

[@tcbtutorials]

You're welcome 😊 thank you for your support xx

[@margaretdaligadu1396]

Your instructions are very easy to follow. Great job!!👍

[@amayautumn]

Beautiful job. Just moved and baseboard heating is preventing me from hanging curtains. Thought of roman blinds. Thank you.

[@ashishnitj]

I enjoyed your passion while making romam blind. I will try myself

[@lindafaber5687]

You made that lookeasy but I can tell you are a very talented lady great work

[@tamarafogal5982]

I see this was posted awhile ago so many you're not checking for comments but I cannot seem to locate the hardware you used in the video. Its so nice and I love the hand sewing portions - such quality work. Beautiful, thank you for sharing. I looked on your website and didn't see it either. Thanks again!

[@tamarafogal5982]

Just minutes after posting this I found the right search words on the internet - Roman Blind Shade Track Kit! Thanks anyway - I'm a fan and will keep watching

[@tcbtutorials]

Hi Tamara, the hardware is manufactured by Evans Textiles. Ive been ill for a while but im now back working so will post more helpful videos, thank you for supporting my Chanel! Sandie x

[@dm9152]

Lovely curtains. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@joanneb3463]

Very informative tutorial. I made my first Roman blind and it’s perfect thanks to your clear and informative instructions. Please can you do a tutorial on how to make wave top curtains both lined and unlined.

[@tcbtutorials]

Yes 👍 of course! Thank you for supporting my channel x

[@mariaclough4348]

Great tutorial! Can't wait to try making these. Thank you kindly.

[@ritamoore8346]

Lovely work. Thanks for the information.

[@revbelkis]

You are a true craftsman (person). Artisan? Well, not sure of words but the quality and beauty are inspiring.

[@amandadapanda4952]

Beautiful blind ... love how you made it and explained /showed how it should be done 😃

[@uesleipedrorangel7136]

Hey there! I'm from Brazil. Incredible work! Congratulations!!

[@reasonablerandys]

Great video, I like how you do the rod pockets it’s much easier than sewing on pocket strips to the lining

[@juliadean2473]

Fantastic tutorial! Wish had watched. before I messed my two blinds up by scrimping on material and doing a tiny hem and turn over and then inadvertently stretched and misshaped the edges by overuse of the steam iron!

[@lynnerobinson1054]

Aw you are soooo clever, loved your video

[@looloopomerania7988]

Enjoyed watching your tutorial !! Great job 💋

[@suzywilliams6610]

Great tutorial watched about 20 times making my first Roman Blind so thank you, but as others have said the music playing makes it hard to hear especially as I wear a hearing aid

[@patriciaray-white8781]

Click on CC and put text on without sound .

[@JacquiHolden-ju4it]

I think your tutorials are excellent there is so much step by step detail from start to hanging up to give a professional outcome. My query is that I have a pair of blinds in my kitchen there's nothing wrong with them but I would like to change the material. It seems wasteful, not to mention expensive, to throw these away and make new ones so Is there an easy way to add new material to the original lining and pully system? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thankyou

[@tcbtutorials]

Hi Jacqui, yes you can definitely reuse everything, just be careful to unpick everything carefully so you don’t damage the existing lining. Just lay the existing lining onto your new fabric and lock it all in as I show on the tutorial, then hand sew and put your Velcro on before you re-inserted your fibre glass rods or dowels and bottom bar. If you need any further help just message me. Thank you for supporting my channel xx

[@gerardoconnor4278]

Great Tutorial. Thank you.

[@ritukhanna1740]

What detailing 💝excellent job done

[@darlenerobinson3691]

Very good tutorial. Do you have a video showing a Roman Blind with black out Lining?

[@Mslat3p]

Great instructions thank you. How did you work out the spacing for the rods. I need to make a blind with a drop of 150cms. What do you advise. Thanks in advance.

[@marthaannaszczerba8169]

Wow...that was amazing. Wish me luck making one😀

[@purplemoon8637]

Very very nice! Now I want one. 😋

[@maryjanesteinbrecher3953]

Loved it and the lovely relaxing music.

[@janetwilson1996]

Great video tutorial for roman blinds - have my track, and fabrics and just building up the courage to get sewing :) I wondered how you'd recommend to go about adding in a beaded or pompom trim decoration on the bottom edge please?

[@emma__sews]

Me too

[@thecoloufulcrafter8466]

Hi lovely video, can you tell me how you worked out the distance between rod pockets

[@ruapraia]

This is such a brilliant tutorial. Thank you.

[@carolespicer3167]

Brilliantly presented and easy to follow. I want that steam iron!. What is it?

[@dianneunderwood8456]

Well done tutorial - enjoyed watching the whole process. You are brave to run over your pins with your sewing machine needle - I so dislike having to change out a needle in the middle of a project!

[@TheCarole63]

Wonderful step-by-step. Thank you❣️

[@helenfathers8686]

this video is so helpful thank you - please could you advise on how to cut the fabric if the pattern runs off slightly ?

[@mspamerskine]

This is perfect! I'm just about to start my first Roman Blind so wish me luck. How high is your work-table as I get backache?

[@jessicayuan4492]

Love this video. Where can I get the cartridge that can fit into my small windows? thx.

[@TraceyAnneSavage]

Great video tutorial, however, can you please let advise how to calculate top and bottom hems? I'm going to make a roman blind using the safety blind casing.

[@talmadgekearns658]

Really enjoyable tutorial. I needed a refresher course. It's been over 10 years since I made one of these blinds. I now need to make some for my new home in Jamaica. Where can I get the cartridge track to buy? many thanks. Talmadge

[@cherylpietrok5962]

Excellent teacher! I’m interested in an outside mount Roman shade faux valance with a covered wood header Thank you!

[@rclaireb09]

I’ve watched your wonderful video a dozen times and noticed you made your side cuts for width and folding under. However, you already had a portion folded under on one end when you folded the sides under. How much did you fold under at the end/top? Video went right from folding sides, pinning them, to adding the Velcro for top. What did I miss re the top fold before adding Velcro? Thank you for the demonstration. It is wonderful!

[@pinkdreamer04]

Great Tutorial Thanks!

[@writingsaloon]

Brilliant! Thanks a million!

[@SMartypAntsPants]

Your work is immaculate. You are very skilled at what you do, and I learned a lot from your video. Thank you. I didn't even notice the music until I read the comments from the moaning minnies...haha. Much love.

[@rachaelriddle5872]

Great video! Thank you!

[@illabarbru]

Amazing tutorial! Ive really enjoyed it. Thank you very much for making it!!

[@Purrycatness]

Fantastic tutorial, thank you very much. This will be my first attempt at making a blind, so I have a question: how do I work out how wide to make each pleat? Thank you once again 😃

[@Jyotiharshal]

Thank you for this detailed tutorial!

[@carolined5608]

This was a very informative video. Thank you so much for sharing. I checked your website for the track system with the wire bobbins that you are using but I do not see it anywhere. Can you point me into the right direction to purchase these? Thank you!

[@p.jacobs5588]

It's such a pleasure watching you sew! May I ask what model is your machine? I have a terribly slow machine.. one antique that's only for show..one Kenmore, an old Singer, and a EuroPro. Love to sew, but nothing like you!!!! Love your expertise 💕

[@imPerrenial]

This is the best tutorial that I've seen on making roman blinds. Thank you so much for sharing it. One recurring question that dogs me (prevents me from going for it!) is whether it is possible to make roman blinds machine washable without pulling the stitching from the rod pocket ends. Is that ever done?
