Roman Blind Workshop

Roman Blind Workshop

Learn how to make a Roman blind at Patchwork Dreamer in Bodmin, Cornwall. Join tutor Helen Clemo for a practical, full-day sewing workshop and develop the skills to make Roman blinds for your home.

You’ll make a sample blind to learn each stage of the process. Your practice blind can measure up to 1 metre wide by 1 metre long. The workshop focuses on learning the techniques rather than making a blind to fit a particular window.

What you will learn

• How to measure your fabric for a window aperture.
• How to assemble a Roman blind.
• How to calculate the spacing between the rod tape and rods.
• About different types of headrail systems.

This Roman blind making workshop is suitable for intermediate sewers and above who are confident using their sewing machine.

What to bring

• Your sewing machine in good working order, with its manual.
• Your general sewing kit, including a long ruler and/or set square.
• A maximum of 1 metre of main fabric.
• 1 metre of poly/cotton lining fabric.
• A kit for a corded Roman blind. To find the correct kit on eBay, search for “jupiterhomedecor Roman Blind Kit”, priced at £17.99.
• Optional: 1 metre of medium-weight iron-on interfacing to stabilise your main fabric. This is not essential for the practice blind.

Cost: £60 per person. Please bring the materials and equipment listed above.
