Top down, bottom up roman shade

I’ve made many top down roman shades over the years but never attempted a top down, bottom up shade until recently. Cellular shades are a  popular alternative to this design but my client wanted some color and pattern in her room.  I found some directions on line http://www.terrelldesigns.com/Instructions/Make-a-Top-Down-Bottom-Up-Roman-Shade that were easy to understand and to follow.

    Hi Susan.

    This is exactly what I’m looking for, but the local blind store wants an outrageous $ to make them for me and they want to make them with too many rounded folds. I like this simple design. If I give you some measurements, could I get an estimate for creating them, minus the cost of the fabric? (I’m still looking for that.)

    Thanks, Julie
