Austrian blinds take up a lot of fabric. It should be soft, to drape and gather well. You will need at least twice the width of the window to get good gathers, and about 8 inches longer than the length of the window to allow for the necessary seams. The easiest way to make Austrian blinds is by using Austrian Blind Tape and you’ll need at least four times the length of the blind (so if the blind is 40 inches long, buy at least 160 inches of tape). You’ll need the appropriate track and hooks too.
Remember that you may need extra fabric if you have to match a pattern, or are adding frills to the sides or bottom edges.
