Lined Roman Shade and Tabbed Panel

I chose to do a lined shade in this window for two reasons. First, I wanted to piece the front of the shade, and a lining in the back works well to encase unfinished edges. Second, this west window gets a lot of sunshine, and I thought these light-colored fabrics could use some help blocking it out when necessary.



Finally, another tabbed panel I made to match in the guest bedroom.



Both patterns are from Quick & Easy Window Treatments by Gail Abbott and Cate Burren.

Unlined Roman Shade

Matchy-match! The brown microsuede I used for this Roman shade is the same as the top fabric detail of my tabbed panel, below. All of these curtain patterns, by the way, are from Quick & Easy Window Treatments by Gail Abbott and Cate Burren.
