Faux (fake Roman Shade (An easy project) Part 2 

Hi Lexi, did you follow his measurements for the rings. Mine doesn't seem to be lining up right.

A trick : you can watch movies at kaldroStream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.

@Bo Rene Yup, I have been watching on Flixzone} for months myself :D

Thank you Janice!

You use an L bracket to mount them to the wall.

Hi Mary! You do not have to have the side flaps that wrap around the edges of the board! These faux Roman shades are being mounted outside the window frame and the flaps help hide the mounting hardware. Thanks, Scott

Doris: Did you ever figure out the measurement/placement of the rings for a deeper fold? Or did you end up sewing the folds in place to achieve the desired effect?

@@ginarozenski9233 I figured it out and they turned out beautiful! It took a while as it was more challenging than I expected but I’m glad I stuck with it. I didn’t want the look of sewing them down. Thanks for asking!

@@dorisrichardson2688 would you be willing to share your measurements! I too want deeper folds. Thanks!

Hi! yes I’m using a split ring and clipping all the rings together!

@@Factorydirectdesignersworkroom Okay, I found a close-up photo on Rowley Co of what that looks like, so now I understand. Thanks.

Loved your video! Do you attach the shade to the wall with L brackets?

Yes the last 2 are 5” and 5” and when you hang it you will see it does stagger do to the weight.

If I want my shade to be 10inch in total length what measurements should I use for where to place the rings?

This formula has worked best to keep the folds even, basically trial and error!

You could sew in a pocket at the top, and mount it using a tension rod. However I'm not sure about laundering with all the rings. Might work on a gentle cycle.

I made one a long time ago and I added velcro to the board and hemmed top of the shade

Sew Velcro on the fabric side on top edge. ( that will attach the lining at same time) Fold velcro portion back and attach to a board with Velcro stapled along the very top edge of board. My board screwed on to wall. Not much return on mine, depends what you like. This way can come down for cleaning.

Joann fabrics

Barbara, I've had this situation before. In fact, I ran into this situation just this week with a very geometric fabric. I ended up buying enough fabric to use the length of fabric rather than the width. If you can't do this way (I think it's called "railroading"), then buy enough fabric to use one 60" width for a centered section (call that section "A"), and then split another 60" width into 2 sections (Sections "B" and "C"). Then sew one split section "B" onto the left end of center section "A", and the other split section "C" onto the right end of center section "A." Then you can cut down the total width for your 79" window treatment. Personally, I prefer a balanced look when splicing sections together. If 79" is your finished width, then I would make the center section A to be 55" finished width, and the two outer sections "B" and "C" to each be 12" wide finished. Thus, 55+12+12=79". If you use the entire 60" width for your center section A, then each of your side sections will be narrower than I would personally want. Maybe draw it out to scale first to see what you prefer. Good luck!

Good question! What we do is seam match (if print fabric) 1/2 width on each side of the full width and then we trim off the excess evenly on both ends. For example 9-1/2”/60”/9-1/2”= 69”. of course you need to add for seam allowances and side hems. You will need to do the same with the lining and center the seams to the shade fabric the best you can since the lining is going to be narrower in width. Good luck!
