I just repainted my kitchen in SW Svelt Sage. I don't have a pic yet but cabinets are dark cherry and trim on window is white. I want to try to make roman shades but not sure of fabric ideas. I really would like a pattern instead of something solid colored. also at this point I have no other color in there yet but I want to go more muted colors as before I had bright colors and am trying to calm everything down. I looked at fabric today at store but nothing really caught my eye. any ideas for colors to match and fabric ideas that go with it. Thanks!!

I love to sew and over the last few years have had the opportunity to learn from a friend who has a drapery workroom set up in her basement. It's so different from garment sewing! I just thought I'd suggest a trip to the library to study up on it if you weren't already familiar.

I noticed the picture looks off color on my screen. It's actually more of a mossy green color in my kitchen :)

go for a heavy texture, but in the same color way. maybe something with a white design in something complimentary to the rest- geometric or curved.

Thanks. I was sort of leaning toward a geo pattern but just couldn't find one today. I did see these online tonight that I sort of like. I might see if I can find something similar at the fabric store :)

I like those patterns but will have to try to find similar with a more moss green color to them :)
