Creative Curtains

Very bold and bright cushions plenty of bling and softened with a Designers Build contrast. Bespoke and made by catching tigers to put into each cushion. Sometimes you don’t know what you are going to catch, it’s a bit like fishing! With only a small piece of fabric to work from I was able to catch 6 tigers to make 6 cushions. #cushions #goldtigers #designersguild #piped #tigersandflowers #bespoke #zipped #interiordesign #clash #chinesetigers https://www.instagram.com/p/CmEfyYtoM3n/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#madeinlondon🇬🇧 A very special hall in which I was asked to make this boxed seat cushion in Wemyss vinyl fabric. The designer asked me to make & order the foam and to make buttons so the bronze look of fabric came alive in colour. It was piped and delivered to create this very distinct look. Designs and photo’s are the property of Marc Theron ID And I thank him for sharing them with me.

Some more cushions for a customer in North London. Silk fabric, (Wadded and lined) indented with a hand stitch to form a pattern that gives it a quilted definition An unusual size and so the cushion pads were also custom made in house by Creative Curtains. Zips and overlocked internally a neat little set of cushions that also finished the bedroom and complimented a Roman blind made previously.

A busy year where I have not felt the need to make myself visible on Social Media as well as losing my way too! So to follow on from where I have left off is the “waterproof curtains” A club in Tooting Broadway has taken the roof off the old building and turned into a roof garden. A venue with a real vision of what customers need in a city environment. And amid the hullabalooo of Tooting is an anomaly of design, comfort and jazz. Blankets cushions and now curtains to still be “outdoors” when it is lashing down with rain. One Curtain sits on a 6 metres track that is an apex with the electronic roof. An 12 width curtain glides back and forth, depending on the weather. And a 6 width straight “normal” curtain sits on a 3 metre track. Innovative idea’s have included a mock canopy to keep the tracks protected as well as stop some rain blowing over. Eyelets in the bottom of the curtains as to tie them down to carabiner hooks screwed to the wooden decking. A challenge and a half and far from my comfort zone. #innovative #innovation #creative #technology #design #engineering #tech #creativity #art #love #science #business #instagood #gadgets #startup #mechanicalengineering #lifestyle #architecture #interiordesign #instatechnology #fabrication #tootingbroadway #interior #technologyrocks #mechanical #entrepreneur #technologytrends #london #waterprooffabrics💦 #toughsewingproject https://www.instagram.com/p/Clbc_C5IRoK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A project for an expectant customer, a baby room with lined and interlined blackout Roman Blinds. We were able to keep the existing shutters for this Box Bay Window and ensure a free flowing movement of the blinds. The gift was curtesy of ableambsgifts. Fabric is Wemyss’s Botticelli in Oatmeal and child safety Roman blind rail systems were supplied from Tulip Blinds. All work was on fabric was hand sewn. #roman-blinds #child-safety #soundproofing #heat-insulating. #blackout-lining #blackout-interlining #boxbaywindow #weymessfabrics #botticellioatmeal #neutraldecor #babyroom #babyroomdecor #tulipblinds #brixton #supportsmallbusinesses #covidprotocols #handsewn #velcromagic #freequotes (at Brixton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYCQw-_or8R/?utm_medium=tumblr

A lovely job that I have not done in a while. Quilting 2 sofa bed throws and the making of 7 fitted cushions. Edmund Bell have a printing facility where you can choose a pattern to be put onto any fabric. My customers chose Raised Brushed Panama. The pattern was from the Greenwich Copper brochure. The fabric was specifically chosen to be hard wearing and washable. Please get in touch if you would like samples sent in the new year. #edmundbell #quilting #greenwich #copper #wadding #bedspreads #sofathrows #fittedcushions #checksoverstripes #diamond-pattern #pinpain (I was not careful enough and got hurt by ONE pin!! 😱) (at Stockwell) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXvpeYxoq33/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hello everyone. A long time! I came to wish you all a merry Christmas and brighter new year for you and your loved ones. As curtain makers we become aware of how cold everyone becomes at this time of year and do our best to make your home warmer. We hope it goes some way to to add harmony and happiness between families. Have a warm & wonderful Christmas everyone! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Harmony was restored in this home as to a husband who didn’t like curtains or tracking. And balance and compromise was all. ❤️❤️❤️ (at Stockwell) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXtAhXNoWAe/?utm_medium=tumblr

Something pretty and happier, these cushions added a plush pizazz to a room. It was a copy of a JL cushion that my customer really liked but couldn’t find anymore. The quilting effect was used by “stealing” the fabrics own threads as to conceal the indentations as much as possible. Some more of the same for my customer, only a different colour and size. I will show these next. ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Kaq93IMqg/?igshid=1bvfqjncusnzc

These are an Ashley Wilde fabric, fitted on a wave system “no sew” tape and Evans DS track. Edmund Bell sheets were also made to same style and fitted also on a DS wave track. Edmund Bell Blackout lining. The living room curtains were fitted on an Evans Z wave automated L motor that controlled a 5 metre wide x 3.5metres drop and a 4 metre wide x 3.5 metres drop. They stole my mind, which wasn’t such a bad thing at the time. When I looked up, the world had changed! 🙃☹️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KVvwwIr7L/?igshid=y4ra427i0iup

A super reminder today in the sunshine, in the magic of nature. Never did a little bit of bird poop beg me to ask so many questions! A welcome sight! (at Battersea Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Zyvz-BJlv/?igshid=k2a1ws7k8dhf

A “small” part of the project I have been working on. 9 metres wide by 3.4 metres drop. Electric tracks installed. Not all went perfect, as the velvet has stretched on my table (my table is 3 metres long) An alteration on site, back next week to finish so more photo’s to come. https://www.instagram.com/p/B80841GhCwq/?igshid=1iwadz0jk0hz6

Some Ashley Wilde Alaska velvet on my table. Wave curtains, needing some Snarky Puppy music (Young Stuff) to drown out my industrial machine noise. Smooth music to the smooth velvet.

I have been quiet on social media as I felt a bit overwhelmed with the amount of work coming in. I had a quiet 2019, with a burst of work towards the end of the year and the beginning of 2020. I am getting through it with patience and perseverance and the kindness of my customers. Last year saw 3 new members to our family. Tom is only 7 months and knows the boundary with the workroom door. The kittens however are banished as I have discovered, have magical powers to make you to play and sleep! 😓😊❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B8rU2RahGEz/?igshid=1c3i5hls9wbyt

Taking photo’s of fabrics with a sheen like this Ashley Wilde Dakota Smoke, I have to rely on my phone settings to edit it to the “real” colour. My phone says it “Dramatic!” 😊 As it’s a smart phone, I shall have to agree! ☝️😍 #backtowork #blackoutcurtainsneeded #blackoutcurtains #blackoutcurtainsforthewin #handsewingsunday #newbuildhome #newbuildlondon #camberwellnewroad (at Creative Curtains.) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuQvziCBmuB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4srdesmg1sa8
