Roman Shades

Okay, Divas! The next project is Roman Shades. Here's some pictures of how we hope they'll turn out:



Date: Tuesday, Sept. 16th
Time: 12:00 p.m.
Place: Provo @ Gram's

The pattern has been emailed to a few Divas, if you want it, let us know and we'll get it to you.

What you'll need:

Bring:

  3. I am also interested in your roman shade pattern, if you don't mind sharing it.

    I agree wholeheartedly with Jeri...your site is just wonderful. I'm so thankful that I came across it! What a bunch of fun, wonderful patterns and ideas you have here. I originally was looking for a toddler apron pattern, and yours is perfect for the Japanese fabric I just ordered. Thank you very much for all the hard work and effort that went into this site!
