Sew Stephanie 2.25

Sew Stephanie window treatments are handmade to the highest quality and standard. In order for your curtain and/or Roman blind to drape well and stay looking good for years to come, I only use the best quality components and materials.

Handmade curtains are tailor made to suit the exact requirements of your window(s). Adaptations to cope with uneven floors, unusual shaped windows and other potential problems are therefore easily achieved.

Linings will either be hand or machined hemmed, but are always attached to the face fabric by hand stitching. They are not only secured at the sides but are also ‘lock stitched’ to the face fabric at various intervals across the width of the fabric so as to ensure the face fabric and lining (and interlining if chosen) hang ‘as one’, providing a lasting and superior drape and finish.

Only with handmade window treatments is it possible to make maximum use of a fabric’s pattern and design, resulting in stunning results. The colour and look of a fabric can change quite dramatically depending simply on how it is pleated. This can only be achieved with hand sewn pleats such as double or triple pleats (sometimes referred to as French pleats).

Why choose interlining? This soft fleecy fabric is stitched between the lining and face fabric and historically was just for insulation purposes. However, even the most modern, draft free houses can benefit from interlined curtains and Roman blinds as they have a lustrous, rounded look as well as protecting the face fabric from potential sunlight damage and thus extending the life of your curtain and/or Roman blind. Children’s bedrooms can especially benefit as interlining naturally cuts out more light.

On a handmade Roman blind there will not be any machine stitching visible on the face fabric, as each rod pocket is attached by hand using barely visible ‘spot tacks’. This ensures that the blind, when fully lowered, only shows off the beauty of the face fabric.

I look forward to working with you.
