I saw this name for faux roman shades used by another blogger, and loved it, since it’s so clever and appropriate. I decided to buy the fabric that matches my beloved TJ Maxx throw pillows and go for the faux roman shade look for our basement windows.
And this is where I stand in the progress department. I cut my fabric for my first shade, and I’m embarrassed to tell you how long that took. That’s the thing about sewing, it’s so … precise. And I’m so not precise.
At this point, I decided to call it a day, since things were starting to get chaotic around the house, and I can’t sew in chaos. I’m hoping to make some progress on these this weekend. You know, when it’s less chaotic.

September 17, 2012 at 7:55 pmI have been to 2 local Hobby Lobby's looking for this fabric and no luck. I had been waffling on what I wanted for window treatments in my dining room and love this fabric!!! But now I can't find it ugh … I wish I knew the name. Just keep working slowly with your sewing. It sounds like you are like me and sewing NEVER seems to go smoothly for me.
