   Yes! In fact, come late this year or early next year, there will be a 6 month series on sewing for the bedroom. It will include bed throws, comforter covers, bed skirts, drapes, roman shades, pillows, sheets… etc.

   Where can I find the step-by-step instructions for making ‘top-down, bottom-up’ roman shade. From the video I cannot figure out how to attached the blind to the wall to enable the top to be lowered. Can you advise me.

   Thank you.

   From your video “top-down, bottom-p’ blinds, I cannot figure out how to attach the blind to the wall. Where can I find step-by-step instructions, with pictures, for this blind?
   Thank you.

   This video is simply a bonus add-on video to the How To Make Roman Shade video series. These instructions show you both in video and in illustrated instructions how to make and install a roman shade. The videos show you how to make a standard roman shade. But after watching the entire tutorial and then watching this bonus video again, you’ll be able to easily change the top hem and the installation of the cords.

   Hope this helps

   The problem must be in how you are tying the lift cords to the rings. The cords to the left should be tied to the top rings only. These cords are not threaded through any shade rings at all. They will simply lower the top edge of the shade to the window sill.
