I have a client who needs 2 romans for her bedroom. It is a hand block printed silk, so we immediately discussed interlining. Later she said, 'oh by the way I also want them to be blackout lined'.
Not sure which is the best way to tackle these, they are both single width and not too long. Should I use face/interlining/blackout with the rods pockets made in the blackout OR face/bonded interlining & blackout/normal sateen lining with the pockets made in the normal lining?
The bonded stuff appears to only be available by the whole roll which I cannot justify. I want to make a good job of these, as there is an entire house at stake, if she is pleased with these, and she is a returning customer after about 8 years.
The blackout is required but not to make total darkness in the room, as she has plantation shutters on the other side of the room, which do not shut out all light.
I promised her a quote today by E-Mail but now I am stumped as I cannot decide how to make them.
Thanks,
Sue.
