SallyD Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hi. I'm hoping to make some new roman blinds for my kitchen but can't seem to find any fabric i like! I've got a picture in my mind of something with a large check ( a bit like a tartan check) that has lots of colours in it eg yellow,blue ,red etc . Does anyone know anywhere or any websites I could look on? Thanks Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Item number: 140430671438 I saw this on ebay. Rather nice. I have bought from this seller before and would recomend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Sorry SallyD, this is not helping with the check hunt is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyD Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Don't apologise, I'm liking the look of striped fabrics too! Also thanks to Ajuff for the ebay suggestion - fabric looks nice and very reasonably priced too. Thanks Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Snowy those stripes are gorgeous. Could use some to make a sun shade to hang across the girls run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Lovely fabrics But you have now sent me on a fabric search. I came across this on eBay 270595933393 which is truly scrummy But on a serious note I am after something like this one 110562803912 but with a mid green background and then the floral embroidered on top. I know, I don't ask for much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Snowy those stripes are gorgeous. Could use some to make a sun shade to hang across the girls run I keep visiting that site to drool Then I think 'I'll treat myself', then I can't decide which one I like best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyD Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 I just wanted to say thank you to Snowy for suggesting and posting link to 'Deckchair Stripes' website The samples I ordered have just arrived and they're all lovely, it'll be hard knowing which one to choose for my blinds! Thanks again for suggesting stripes instead of checks! Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Wow expensive checked fabric. You can get Bedouin headscarf things for about £2 in Egypt, exactly the same fabric! Look around some cheap shops over here at the scarves - you will find them! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) ......but you get what you pay for.....ethically sourced, eco friendly, no chemical.......rather than made by 3 year olds using toxic chemicals....... I exaggerate but sometimes it's worth paying the extra. Edited October 29, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
