My window is no longer undressed!

I finally got around to making a roman shade for my laundry room. I got a titch too much fabric. I forgot to get the measurements before I went in to town so I just got 2 yards of fabric. There were a lot of things that didn't go "as planned" in this project but I still like how it turned out! I found a blog online that explained how to make no sew roman shades. It sounded so easy (It wasn't as easy or as fast as I thought it would be though!) The blog is called Thrifty Decor Chick

I used hemming tape to do my edges. All you have to do is measure and then iron! It went pretty quick and looks just as good as if I were to sew it.






It's kind of hard to see from this pic, but you sew ribbons of varying lengths along the edge of the shade and on the front is a button. (You don't see the button unless you let the shade down.
Here's a better one of the ribbons.

And the finished product! I think if I would have lined the fabric, the light wouldn't have come through as much. For my first attempt at this I am satisfied and glad to be done!
