About Me

I live in the beautiful coastal village of Charmouth near Lyme Regis, Dorset with my family where I run my seamstress business from home.
I was encouraged by my mum at as a teenager to make my own clothes, studied needlework and embroidery for O’levels and then went on to study textile design at art school. I have worked in the past for a few interior design companies then post children worked for a bank which installed a good business head. I have been running this business since about 2007 and love every minute of it. Meeting some lovely people and working with fabrics and I’ve realised I’m quite happy sewing away all day every day.

Home Upholstery

I make curtains, roman blinds and loose covers to arm chairs, foot stools and small sofas with new fabric you’ve bought from a place of your choice or your own fabric you may wish to recycle.
I can make alterations to existing curtains or blinds, re-line them or maybe make curtains into blinds or make cushions from leftover pieces of fabric.
As part of my service I can work out how much fabric you need by using your own measurements or by coming to your house to measure the window/furniture. I can then advise what my charges would be and if you are then happy to go ahead, I will leave you to find/buy and deliver your fabric to me.
I generally keep linings, interlinings and a variety of tapes and curtain making sundries in stock but am also happy to use any that you provide. Prices to make a lined pencil pleat pair of curtains start at £40.00.
