PIN THE LINING TO THE FABRIC

1. Lay the fabric right side down onto the table.
2. Smooth the fabric out then place the lining on top (lining right side up). There should be a 2cm margin of fabric down each side of the blind.
3. Smooth the lining out and adjust it so the bottom rod pocket is the correct distance up from the bottom of the fabric.
4. Fold the double hem up with the lining and fabric together, check the bottom rod pocket is the correct distance up from the bottom of the blind. (adjust lining if necessary)
5. Pin the lining to the fabric and check the rod pockets are square to the fabric sides and all the correct distance from the bottom.

SLIP STITCH THE LINING TO THE FABRIC

1. Sew the lining on with a slip stitch down each side. Stop/start the slip stitch just below the velcro of the header.
2. Sew the top of the hem into place along the top with a slip stitch (not through to the front). Leave the sides open so the bottom bar can be inserted.

INSERT BOTTOM BAR & CLOSE THE ENDS

1. Cut the bottom bar just over 1cm shorter than the width of the blind.
2. Insert the bottom bar into the hem pouch through the open ends.
3. Ladder stitch closed the ends.
