Fabric from India

I don't like to make up curtains in customers own fabric, but this customer had been looking for months and every fabric he chose just blew the budget as he needed over 80 metres for the 5 windows. He called me from India to ask if I'd make a fabric he'd found so I agreed as he''s a valued customer.

I couldn't believe it when it eventually arrived, it was like sewing a carpet but as much as it's something I would not choose myself the finished look was perfect for his home.

Today.................

I've organised everything for the remainder of my appointments this week so can concentrate on displays and organising the workroom :-)

Osborne & Little

Loooking forward to vieweing the new Osborne & Little Collections this week.

Harlequin Juniper Display

Hoping for a quiet morning so I can get on with some more display for our showroom. I'll be using Spirea, an embroidered silk from the Juniper collection with Juniper plain in a vibrant pink. Pictures to be posted soon I hope!

A Busy Day

Had a busy day fitting blinds and curtains in a contemporary barn conversion, not quite finished so will post photos at a later date.
I'll be spending the rest of the week getting up to date with quotes and paperwork and tidying my very untidy workroom!

James Hare Silks

We are now a recommeded supplier of James Hare Silks and have their complete range of products to view in our showroom.

They have a fantastic range of plain silks, slubby dupions, satin silk and linen silk blends, all in a vast array of colours, I love the simplicity of these fabrics which we can dress up or down.

Simple headings to suspend on a dramatic curtain pole

 or elaborate swags and tails embellished with tassels and beads.

They also have some beautiful embroidered silks such as this butterfly embroidery from

The Botanical Collection

Opulence & Glamour

We made these opulent curtains for a client last year, as usual I forgot to photograph them but I've been back today to complete another room, so here they are - hope you like them!

The fabric is Lucido from Harlequin which has a lustrous finish, the curtains have been heavily interlined and finished with an oversized choux heading.

The curtain pole is embellished with crystal finials and the holdbacks feature a large cut glass crystal which shines into the room.
