Bespoke Curtain Making: A Craft of Handsewing

Bespoke Curtain Making: A Craft of Handsewing

Creating bespoke curtains relies heavily on hand sewing, with minimal use of machine sewing. You will learn to master the different stitches and folds that define the essence of handcrafted window treatments.


Handsewn Hems

Handsewn Hems

Hand-sewn hems leave no visible stitching on the front of the fabric, creating a flawless, elegant finish that reflects true craftsmanship.


Mitred Corner

Mitred Corner

Mitred corners are a signature detail of handcrafted curtains. They eliminate unnecessary bulk and form a discreet pocket for penny weights, ensuring an elegant, perfectly weighted finish.


Curtain Lining

Curtain Lining

Lining is a crucial element of beautifully made curtains. It protects your chosen fabric from sun damage while adding body, insulation, and a more luxurious drape. You will incorporate lining into your sample curtain, ensuring a truly professional finish.


Your Sample Curtain

By the end of the workshop, you will leave with your own fully lined sample curtain, completed during the workshop — along with the knowledge and confidence to recreate the process at home.
