Getting Curtains Altered - a Really Cost Effective Alternative to New Curtains
If your curtain fabric is in good condition then why not re-use it. Curtain alterations can be especially helpful when moving house and if done professionally, can be made to look just as good as new curtains. I provide this service anywhere in the UK and even allowing for courier costs, which I can advise on, you are likely to find that getting curtains altered represents a really cost effective option.
Adjusting curtains for size
Existing curtains can be shortened or lengthened, made wider or narrower. For curtain alterations of this nature, measure the window space as you would for new curtains. You may find our measuring page helpful.
Adding a curtain lining
Curtain alterations involving the addition of a blackout or thermal lining to existing curtains can change their purpose, be a real energy saver and lengthen the life of existing curtains. I am able to supply a range of good quality lining fabric at a competitive price. Check out here for lining fabric options.
Joining Curtains
Sometimes wide windows may require 2 sets of curtains. If bought as ready made curtains, then having them professionally sewn together will provide a really good finish.
Changing a Curtain Heading
Curtains can be "freshened up" by changing headings, particularly as trends change e.g curtain alterations to eyelet curtains are currently a popular requirement. It is often possible to replace or add new tape or tabs to existing curtains or even change from pencil pleat to pinch pleat, providing there is sufficient fabric.
Curtain Repairs
Direct sunlight, dust and simple aging weakens curtain fabric and the leading edges of curtains are generally where wear shows up first. If otherwise the curtain fabric still looks good, there may well be ways of repairing rather than replacing the curtains.
Something quite different
More than just curtain alterations, good quality curtain fabric can easily be converted from curtains to roman blinds. Equally, something as simple as a new trim or custom made tie-backs can re-vitalise tired curtains.

What my customers say
“We have just had the curtains you altered for us hung and they look wonderful. You have saved us a huge amount of money by transforming old curtains into curtains to fit an entire apartment at a much lesser cost than getting curtains made from scratch. We even had enough fabric left over to cover our dining chairs. Many thanks for an excellent and cost saving service.”
