Sew Simple Blind...

I recently decided to brighten up our bedroom window by making a lovely new blind... using pretty floral cotton fabric and country style accessories...

One of my favourite blogs, 'Country Days' by Rhoda Parry the editor of Country Homes Magazine, featured a post on

I loved the look of the simple blind and was keen to make one of my own...

Using the 'Country Days Easy Blind' instructions as a guide, I got started on my slightly adapted version...

As my window is in an awkward position, instead of using a curtain rail to fit the blind to the wall, I used a velcro wall fastening...
To finish I added some cute little shell buttons to the ties...

A quick, effective and easy to make country style blind...

If you fancy making a 'easy blind' of your own... take a look at the step by step instructions on the House to Home page...

I would love to know how you get on... so please leave a comment below...
