Why have plain lining when you can have tartan! The back of these curtains will be visible when approaching the property, so we decided to line them in this bespoke tartan, with a cheeky peek of it on the top of the informal pleats.
You only get such attention to detail with handmade.

A wee glimpse into some of the steps that go into creating a Roman blind the traditional way. The hours of stitching tucked away inside may go unnoticed, but the result is a blind that's smooth as the proverbial, and not a stitch in sight!
Only with handmade.

In the absence of a joiner at today's fitting, I decided to adopt a 'can do it' attitude. So I borrowed some power tools and got on with it myself: drilling holes, fitting tracks and brackets, and attaching the pelmet boxes that I'd upholstered earlier. None of that got captured on film as I was too absorbed in the tasks at hand. So here are some photos of the finished window dressings. All in all, a decent day's work 😁

Handmade, interlined Roman blinds with integral returns, AKA side flaps 😁
