It is a deep valance. It provides some protection from the sunlight which streams very HOT into this west-facing window, but it does not provide privacy. You are right in saying this is more like a deep valance.

They can't be easily moved up and down to completely block the window at night but be open during the day? These are more like a valance treatment? Albeit a pretty deep valance?

I suppose ...Elizabeth, I'm not sure about that. I suppose if you're going to add a lining you might not need double the fabric length. But honestly, this method works best if you do go ahead and buy double the fabric length. The shade looks realistic because of the way it hangs from the tension rods, and that look is dependent upon the way the fabric drapes over the rods. I don't know how well you could achieve that look without doubling the fabric. Maybe a single length with the extra weight of the lining would provide enough fullness; I'm not sure! Honestly, you might want to try it with some scrap fabric and lining first just to be sure it works.<br /><br />As for trim, I think trim at the bottom would look great. That would be the advantage of not having a double length of fabric (i.e. just a rectangle of fabric instead of a rectangular loop). With the big loop, you don't know what spot on the shade will end up being the bottom; with a single length, you know exactly where it will be!Richella Parhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353214472648623583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-81256647214879119182013-07-30T09:42:39.902-04:002013-07-30T09:42:39.902-04:00Hey!

Basically, I create a giant loop of fabric, not a rectangle glued on all sides. If you glued the fabric together all around, it would probably lie flat. That might be a neat look, but that wasn't what I was going for and might not be what you want, either.Richella Parhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353214472648623583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-63901795481721439352013-07-14T20:01:44.757-04:002013-07-14T20:01:44.757-04:00the bottom of my shade looks flat not full.

And then when you drape the fabric over the second and third tension rods, you get a nice full look. However, you could sew a pocket for a rod at the top of the fabric and just use one thickness of fabric to drape over the second and third rods. <br /><br />Hope that helps!Richella Parhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353214472648623583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-73799566209663913762013-02-11T16:42:36.204-05:002013-02-11T16:42:36.204-05:00I am a little confused about the double length - c...I am a little confused about the double length - can you clarify that part...what a great outcome!!sallyhttp://www.ideaga.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-45187994187203434382013-01-24T11:27:32.015-05:002013-01-24T11:27:32.015-05:00I found this article whilst looking for informatio...I found this article whilst looking for information on roman blinds and how to repair them and although this article talks about how to make your own, it has given me some ideas of how to repair mine!<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Carl<br /><a href="http://www.ambitionblinds.co.uk/roman-blinds/" rel="nofollow">Roman Blinds</a>Carlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-43463563465708838602013-01-07T18:28:50.711-05:002013-01-07T18:28:50.711-05:00I love this, and I don't even know who sent it...I love this, and I don't even know who sent it to me.
