Wonderful fabric from Pindler & Pindler-

A remnant piece that was just enough for this Roman shade:

I finally figured out what to do with heavy upholstery fabrics like this, for shades: do not fold in a double hem.  I overlocked the edge so it was neat and clean, then hand-sewed the side hem.
Besides, the shade was rather wide and left less than an inch each side for hems.  This technique worked out great- no bulky sides.
