How to Measure for Curtains
Width – Do not measure the window. Measure your track or pole from end to end excluding finials.
Drop – Before you measure your drop, decide if you want your curtain to be floor length, sill length or above the sill.
For tracks – Measure from the top of the track.
For poles – Measure from the hook of the curtain ring and add 2cm so that the curtain can cover the hook. For eyelet curtains, measure from the top of the pole.

Roman Blinds
Custom roman blinds are made to your exact requirements once you provide the material and dimensions.
How to Measure for Blinds (include images)
Inside a window recess – If you want your blind positioned in the window recess, measure the width of the recess measured at the top, middle and bottom (plaster work is not always even, and measurements may vary. This will prevent the blind from rubbing).
Outside a window recess – If you want your blind positioned outside the window recess, measure the recess and add 5 – 8cm.
Cushions
Cushions can be square, rectangular, bolster, boxed or round; they can be plain, piped, flanged, frilled, boxed or regular throw cushions with zips or buttons. Any finish and look is possible. I make cushions for homes, hotels, B&Bs, boats, campers and more.
Curtain eyelet services
At the moment, we fit 25mm and 40mm diameter eyelets. These fit most standard poles. Cost per eyelet including the fitting starts at £3.50 for 25mm and £4 for 40mm. You need between 8-10 eyelets per width of curtain. Remember, making up of curtains is on top of eyelet fitting. Please enquire for further information. Metal eyelets are significantly stronger and more robust than the plastic eyelets. This means that there is no danger of the eyelet coming apart once fitted.

Our customers say:
Very high quality curtains, immaculately made. Can’t recommend highly enough!
Hello Magda, we love the curtains and pillows you made. It was great to choose the material and leave the rest to you, you did a great job! Thanks
When we needed some pretty curtains for Molly, Magda came up with a gorgeous design incorporating Molly’s favourite butterflies and flowers using buttons and embroidery with pom pom edging. It’s gorgeous and really well-made. Highly recomended.
My first experience of this delightful couple and both of their companies was with the very proactive to curtain alterations which I needed done accurately, professionally and under a tight time pressure. I was very impressed with Magda’s energy and enthusiasm and ‘can do’ attitude to the request. Fitting me around a number of clients in a busy period my curtains were ready before the date initially suggested and the results were first class in every respect. The job was needed to complete the soft furnishings for our house protect due to be let imminently. We would not hesitate in recommending Sewansome to anyone. If only every business could be this efficient, practical and with such first class customer service
