Note: If your window frame is really out of square and there is a big difference between your measurements, you may want to consider doing an outside the window frame installation. This is the finished width of your shade. Take the SMALLEST of those three measurements as the width.
If you’re lucky, all three measurements will be the same…but I don’t think that’s ever happened to me 🙂 Repeat this 3 times – once at the top of the frame, once in the middle of the frame and once at the bottom of the frame. To get the width of the window, measure from the inside edge on the left side of the window frame to the inside edge on the right side of the window frame. 1 1/2″ corner braces (for outside frame mount only).1 – 1/2 inch dowel that is at least as wide as your window.(optional) 1/4 inch dowels* that are at least as wide as your window.thread in a coordinating color for your fabric.fabric and lining (see the section below on measuring to find out how much you’ll need).If the position of the shade will change often, the dowels make it easier to use. My rule of thumb is: If the roman shade is in a location where it tends to stay open (or closed) most of the time, I’ll make it without the dowels. Making roman shades without dowels is a little easier but you may need to arrange the folds so they lay flat. But they require a little more effort and a few more supplies to make. Using dowels helps to make the sections of the shade fold more neatly when you pull the shade up. I have made roman shades with dowels and without dowels.
