Handmade Monday - White Linen Blind

Hello lovely people! Just a real quickie today, Summer holidays are well and truly underway. Welcome, welcome dear new followers and to my lovely loyals I have not forgotten that I promised a giveaway - it's in hand, more of that later in the week.

Today, as my contribution to Handmade Monday, I can share Part 2 in 'The Great White Linen' triology, a roman blind.





Part 3 takes me a little outside of my comfort zone. The request has been for a white linen slip cover for a gorgeous old chair. Although challenging I'm very excited about this one and can't wait to get started. I'll let you know when I have something to report.

I'm lucky enough to have my lovely Mum and Dad staying with me this week so my posts may be a little shorter than usual. Hope you are all having a wonderful time. Now before you disappear make sure you pay a special visit to Wendy at 1st Unique Gifts who is hosting another Handmade Monday.

Happy Crafting!

    Love that blind. I also love challenges, am just in the process of completing one that has stressed me just a little bit, although I did enjoy doing it!

    I've just emailed you - am thrilled with the cushion, but more of that soon when I blog about it! x

    I love the clean lines and how it enhances the window... I may soon be doing a commission on curtains for my old boss... am scared big time!

    Hello Caroline:
    Roman blinds are such a sylishly simple way of controlling light into a room. Very much needed in Budapest where the summer sun can be very powerful and destructive to fine furnishings. Yours is lovely!

    I don't think I could make one, I'm sure mine would be all catiwhampus, but I love white linen and I love that sort of blind. That looks stunning. I want to take a photo of it! :)

    I love the simplicity of roman blinds, and they are perfect for Georgian style windows.

    Beautiful blind - so effective and simple (looking) and that crisp white linen is classic.
