I’ve made many top down roman shades over the years but never attempted a top down, bottom up shade until recently. Cellular shades are a popular alternative to this design but my client wanted some color and pattern in her room. I found some directions on line http://www.terrelldesigns.com/Instructions/Make-a-Top-Down-Bottom-Up-Roman-Shade that were easy to understand and to follow.
Shade open all the way in the up position.
Shade down a couple of folds.
Shade lowered half way.
Shade closed.
Shade raised from the bottom half way allowing
for privacy.

Hi Susan.
This is exactly what I’m looking for, but the local blind store wants an outrageous $ to make them for me and they want to make them with too many rounded folds. I like this simple design. If I give you some measurements, could I get an estimate for creating them, minus the cost of the fabric? (I’m still looking for that.)
Thanks, Julie
Hi. what is the price range on these?
Hi there,

Would you happen to know if it has been update or know of another tutorial?
Thanks
