Hi all
I'm still struggling with a pair of hobbled Romans for my Kitchen. At last I got a couple of days off last week and finished them off. I fitted the first, and after a bit of tweaking it looks fabulous, and I was chuffed to bits because I had fretted over them for ages as there are no easy instructions for the fitting.
I cut the batten to hang the second one and went off to attach the blind. Disaster! It's your worst nightmare! The blind was 10 cms too narrow! I nearly freaked out.
I've come to terms with it now, and have several options. I would like to know what everyone thinks, I know I have to unpick everything I've done up to now (it isn't an option to buy more material, as the shop has none left).
1. Do I put a narrow border along both edges in the lining contrast. This means I will also have to do the other blind to match.
2. Do I add another piece of blind material on the far side, which won't be too obvious especially when the blinds are up.
3. Do I scrap them and start again, bearing in mind that I have re-covered my kitchen chairs in the same fabric.
I would be really grateful for your ideas, one of which will be to measure more carefully in future!
Yours Hopefully, Jessie
