Sorry about this problem!

SO.........WHAT ARE WE WORKING ON TODAY??

Monday, March 28, 2011

Today I got the chance to go see some of our recent work, installed.
Flat panels with rings; Roman shades.  All is lined with blackout to reduce light bleed from embroidery.


Drool


The valance is slightly curved to follow the arc above it.

Ribbed shades strung with JK mesh tube cord shroud.  The rings are sewn on and the cord and shroud fed through the rings. Then the mesh is secured to the ring with a clear miniature tie wrap, clipped short.  
The flat panels have 10 rings per width, spaced about 5" apart, for a casual, ripply look.
 
Stitched channels keep the drapery hooks in place.

  1. I think these are beautiful...I love the fabric and the panels look great! How did you find using the tie wraps with the JK shroud?

  2. The tie wraps worked great, Peggy! Once they're clipped short, they're not even noticeable.

  3. You're right. I was straining my eyes looking for the tie wraps in your picture and never could pick them out!
