How to Sew a Roman Shade, Easy Roman Shade, Fake Roman Shade Valance

Although I’m sure I could tackle the working shades, I had an idea to make fake ones for the bathroom and kitchen. My trip to Ikea last weekend was perfectly timed since I got to pick up some fabric and get my project off the ground.  This was my chance to learn how to sew a roman shade.
