CURTAIN MAKING AND ALTERATIONS

(or 2 widths in each curtain) x 2.5 metres drop.

I just don't have room to make anything larger, sorry.

Amount of Fabric Required

The width varies according to the heading style, usually about

1.5 - 2 x the track length for pencil pleat tape or eyelets.

The cut length needed is the drop + 25 cms

If the fabric has a pattern that needs matching I need to know the length of the pattern repeat.

Shop assistants do not always correctly work out the amount you really need, so call me first.

A Word About Fabric

Please choose your fabric carefully as this will affect the hang and look of your curtains.

As a rule try not to use anything with any stretch in the weave, however slight.

Firm woven cottons and linens are best.

If in doubt, send me a sample or direct me to the fabric website link.
