    Roman Blinds are fairly straightforward - but I am a Stitching Witch!!

    ok so I can ask you a few questions then pls stitchy? :A I don't have a sewing machine - is it still possible to do? where's the best place to get the rods? when I looked on the ole tinternet for instructions it says they cost around £40 seems expensive to me :eek: or :o is that about right?

    lastly what does this mean????
    "1 meter by 1.35 meters
    39 inches by 53 inches"
    please help me to become a master of decor :D (I should add I think these are the measurements for the material - which no doubt you know so forgive me for being a novice!)

    Thought the problem was with me, use a latop with a dodgy keyboard, so I'm not always sure if websites receive the info I try and send.

    I wanted to go on and add more things to my list as well marking others in progress.
