Impressive Window Treatment - Minimum Sewing!

The Mock Roman Shade is one of the easiest window treatments to create even for the person with limited sewing experience.  If you are able to sew a straight seam you will be able to make it.  Here is a list of items you will need:
1.  1" x 4" board.  The board will be mounted above the top window frame and should extend each side of the window by at least 3".  If you do not have a saw, have the board cut to size at the store.
2.  "L" brackets and screws.
3.  Staple gun.
4.  Face fabric, be daring use a bold print.  A window treatment is only as beautiful as the fabric that is selected.  One yard length is usually enough.
5.  Lining fabric, the same amount as your face fabric.
Go out and secure your supplies and next week we will talk about the construction.  Have fun choosing a fabric that will make a statement and really be impressive in your room!
