You could reverse the pole, and wind the fabric so it is the good side showing, it would fall from the front not the back of the pole, and the white backing wouldn't show.
Beautiful. When’s the tour of your SheShed?

Great guide, thank you! I need to make a weird set of roller shades that starts about 20% down from the top of the window and has a cutout to accommodate a cat bed and air conditioner. This video gets me most of the way there!
Hi there, i am a new subscriber. I am going to be redoing my window shades in our bedrooms. Great tips and thanks for sharing mistakes. That is how we learn. Yours turned out nice!😊
Super❤🎉
Very nice
I just bought some new beautiful curtains for my patio door. I have a bay window across from the room that have black and white buffalo checkered curtains that look like Roman shades. If that makes sense. It's the kind that have this pretty droop in the middle after you tie them up at the ends. Anyway, I think I'm going to buy another panel and create roller blinds like this to match them. My curtains are a beautiful floral and they wild look so pretty behind the checkered curtains! Thank you for the idea! I wish we could show you our end result with before and after pictures so you could see what I'm talking about lol! Loved your video! Thank you for sharing!❤
