| Striped shade for over the kitchen sink |
A while back I made this flat Roman shade for a client. She provided the fabric. This was a working shade over her kitchen sink. Mostly it would be open but sometimes she wanted to have privacy. We went with the flat shade as it would be mostly pulled up.

| Back of operational shade |
I used a bead chain operated system and ring locks. There is a weight bar pocket sewn in the back to provide side to side stability and weight for the operation of the system.
 |
| Ring locks from the front |
 |
| Ring locks sewn in place |
I placed the rings even with the bottom of the set of stripes on every other row. This kept it within the less than 8" spacing required and also provided for a pleasing pleat to pattern look.
 |
| Mitered corner |
To keep it all neat, I did a mitered corner at the bottom and the lining tucks into the side and bottom hems to reduce the bulk.

| Faux shade |
A few months later she asked me to make a matching faux shade for the butler's pantry next to the kitchen. I constructed it the exact same way but without an operating system. I just used orbs at the bottom to keep it pulled up and then stapled the cords to the mounting board.
