Why We’re Sew Into 'Cruiser': Its dainty abstract pattern that adds a hint of vibrancy and movement The lively tang of its lemony green evoking the easy charm of summer Its transparent weave that allows daylight in while guarding your privacy For a home that loves to flaunt sunny hues, Cruiser will be pure delight! With a lovely linen-like texture and a hazy melange of white and lime green, this sheer fabric is as soothing as an evening breeze. Use as a single layer for a patio doorway or team up with blackout drapes in a guest bedroom, and watch it scatter its lazy charm. HomeSewn Wisdom: Select a suitable fold style: Since sheer roman shades are typically chosen for their airiness and transparency, picking a fold style that necessitates lining is counterintuitive. So, avoid the back-slatted style that cannot be constructed without lining on the back, if you don't want to sacrifice any of your sheer blind's translucence. Pair with blackout drapes: Overtreat 'Cruiser' sheer roman blinds with blackout drapes to provide more options for light control and privacy in bedrooms and nurseries. You can also use this opportunity to mix colors, textures and patterns for more visual interest. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Cruiser curtains as a stylish alternative to roman shades. Drapery’s generous dimensions and flowy trails are particularly well suited to wider spans, creating a balanced and refined look. Start with a sample: Screens may lie; swatches don’t. Since colors in images can vary on different screens, ordering a sample of Cruiser is highly advisable. This will allow you to see the colors upclose, and check how the fabric feels to the touch. Complement with matching accessories: For a custom designer look, coordinate your roman shades with other textile accessories in the room. Order matching runners, table covers or cushion covers from us, or buy Cruiser fabric by the yard to create any matching fabric accessory of your choice. The Nitty-Gritty (Made Pretty): Our roman shades arrive with all necessary hardware, so you can skip that last-minute store dash. We include cord lock anchors for child and pet safety, because style should never come at the cost of safety. Each roman shade at Sewn is handcrafted by skilled artisans from India who pour care, precision and decades of experience into every stitch.
