Legends

This fabric is fabulous!
 Imagine using it on an Upholstered Cornice or a flat Roman Shade.
Talk about making a statement.  The fabric's pattern repeat is 27" horizontal and 27.8" vertical  That equates to each "blocked personality" being 4" wide and 4" tall.

Can you see it being used for this shade?

Wish I would have seen the fabric "Legends" before I selected this for my kitchen cornice pictured below.

Shape Up and Get Curves without the Bulk

by using a shaped cornice.
Create a softer finish.



Getting the right shape is so important.  If your room has wide windows or very straight lines you can create  visual interest by using  a shapely cornice.

Trying to cut cost?
A cornice is the way to go if you have a fabric that's very expensive. 
Most cornices take about 2 yards

Soft Cornices

These are soft cornices.  When we make soft cornices we use a stiff liner.  Most cornices we make are upholstered on plywood.
