Why We’re Sew Into 'Custard Apple': Dynamic, age-proof, gender-neutral geometric patterns Cheerful orange accents and embroidered textures Skin-friendly and sustainable pure cotton fabric When sun kisses morning sky with puffy white clouds, Custard Apple is the fabric that emerges. 100% pure cotton with the softest of drapes, this fabric is a ray of happiness of any space. Casual and slightly zany with spirals and circles making merry in hues of brick read, melon and tangerine oranges on plain white backdrop, Custard Apple is drapery gone euphoric. HomeSewn Wisdom: Don't skip lining: Bright-colored cotton may gradually fade over time when continuously exposed to the hot sun, So, be sure to add lining behind your cotton roman blinds and protect them from sun damage. The lining will also help the shade form neat clean-lined folds, making them look more sumptuous and lush. Secure the cord on the safety anchor: Be sure to install the safety anchors provided with our hardware kit as per the instructions and keep the pull cord secure so it does not dangle loosely. This is a precautionary childproofing step to avoid accidents as well as a smart way to hide the hardware when the shade is inside-mounted. Opt for curtains: If you’re dressing windows wider than 96 inches, try Custard Apple 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 Custard Apple 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 Custard Apple 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.
