This is our Living Room, and yes, our windows have been waiting to be dressed for like ages already!

The shades half rolled
A closer view..
These window treatment are so easy to make. They may not be the best looking ones, but I am pretty satisfied with the way those have transformed my windows. I like the clean lines, the privacy and the protection from the sun those shades offer.
Tutorial:
Materials needed- canvas cloth, curtain rods, clip rings
measure your window, cut your canvas according to your preference (I opted to have my finished shades same width and about 3 inches longer vs window)
Make sure to make allowances on the sides for trimming, a little more on the top to make way for your rod.
Now, you are ready to sew!
Ever wonder what mechanism I use to make the shades half rolled or folded? I will show you how on my next post...
