Making up curtains

Post by graham43 »

Would be grateful for recommendations of someone to make up curtains from fabric supplied by the customer.

Many thanks Graham

Whilst awaiting other recommendations, Graham, have a stroll around the back streets in the Old Town behind the market. Keep you eye out for Tailors, as well as Curtain outlets, as Tailors usually undertake such work, having the right machines for the job!

Just give them the width and drop dimensions for each half. And don't forget a roll of hanger/draw string material to actually hang them with on your poles. Packs of nylon hanging hooks should be easily found in most Supermarkets and DIY stores.

Don't forget that heat insulating material can also be attached to your curtain fabric (between curtain and door/window) to help keep the rooms cooler in Summer, and warmer in Winter!

Cheers- AL :)
Gone but not forgotten...

Many thanks Al for your prompt and practical (as ever) suggestions.
'Boom boom' could you please clarify where Sew Simple is located- is it on the road to Coral Bay? There appears to be a Cartridge World in Paphos.
Thank you both Graham
