I'm moving onto the Girl Fox's room and am putting a fabric shade at one window. I only have the funds for a premade shade and fear that my sewing abilities are greatly lacking to make one (not too mention lack of time).

I picked up 2 lengths at IKEA today. 1 is an inch or so too short on each side to fill the window inset (but covers the glass easily) and the other is about an inch or so too long over the inset but too short to cover the entire frame of the window.

Which length do you think I should go w/? I did the best job that I could w/ pics. Football game is on and I couldn't wrangle anyone to hold blinds while I took pictures.

Window full on:

Short shade and where it hits on either side of the window:

Where the longer one hits:

Both together:

Thanks for your input!
