Interior Making Service

At CLOTH we offer a curtain making and roman blind making service to customers who choose our fabric. Customers also buy our fabric and make the curtains and blinds themselves or they have their own curtain maker.

Our Service

In the shop our curtain and roman blind making service usually starts with a conversation based on the ideas the customer wants to pursue.

It might be curtains for every room in the house or hotel or it could be a wired curtain to hide a bin in a kitchen.

We can guide our customers towards which fabrics might work, advise about linings and give an estimate of how much fabric is required.

A quote can also be requested through this site by filling in this form.

Styles of Curtains

Pencil Pleat: Informal and traditional style that works well in bedrooms and on smaller windows. Two times fullness is ideal for pencil pleats.

Double or triple pinch pleat: Pinch pleats curtains provide a smart tailored look create a uniform, neatly stacking curtain fold. This style needs at least two and half times fabric fullness.

Inverted Pleat: A modern twist on the pinch pleat giving a simpler cleaner line to the curtain header. The pinch pleat is placed at the back of the curtain, a bit like a box pleated skirt.

Wave Pleat: The wave pleat is a streamlined and symmetrical alternative to more elaborate pleated curtain headings. The wave is formed by sewing the fabric flat on to the heading tape, then the finished curtain is hung on carriers that come as part of the dedicated wave pleat track. We can recommend curtain fitters who supply and fit rails or poles. They also take accurate measurements and hang the curtains.

Eyelets: An eyelet curtain heading can provide a simple contemporary look and is used in conjunction with a traditional curtain pole. We only recommend using an eyelet header with light fabrics because it requires holes to be made in the fabric. Although the holes are sealed with the eyelet rings the fabric is intrinsically weakened and the weight of the hanging fabric pulls at the holes. It is also a style that is only suitable for curtains poles rather than tracks. It is not ideal for sheer fabric because the eyelet tape is visible. The advantage of eyelet curtains is that they are economical on fabric using one and a half to two times the fabric.

Roman Blinds

We offer a Roman Blind making service. You can request a quote here. We can also recommend curtain fitters who will take accurate measurements and return to fit the finished blinds. If you are thinking of having the blinds inside the recess of the window we recommend that you hire a fitter because the measuring is critical. The fitters work independently of us and invoice separately.

Roman Blinds fold up into pleats when they are pulled up to open. They work best with fabric that folds neatly like linen or cotton but any fabric can used. Just like curtains they can be interlined to provide insulation from cold and noise or lined with blackout lining to eliminate early morning light.

The blinds are made with horizontal slats, which are connected by cords in the back of the blind between the fabric and the lining. When the blind is lifted, the cords pull the slats together and bring the blind up into folded pleats. Roman blinds can be fitted either outside or inside the recess. They are easier to fit to the outside and because they sit above the window they allow more light in when they are open.
