Curtains, Roman Blinds

& Soft Furnishings

Transform the look and feel of your living space with a customised touch that reflects your unique personality. My bespoke service offers made-to-measure curtains and roman blinds that will elevate your home decor to a whole new level.

I will help you bring your vision to life, or assist you in selecting the perfect fabrics, styles, and fittings. I will take you through each step with ease and professionalism, ensuring your curtains and blinds are tailored to your exact specifications.

CURTAINS

All my curtains are made from scratch by hand and fully lined to ensure a good weight when hung and a high quality finish. I can offer various styles including; pencil pleat, pinch pleat and eyelet headings and you can also add the option of blackout lining or interlining.

ROMAN BLINDS

My custom-made Roman Blinds are fully finished by hand and completely made to measure for your room. They can be made to sit within or outside the recess depending on the style you prefer. My blinds are made either with cassette headings, or they can be made with traditional wooden batten’s.

Please note that blind cords can pose a risk to small children. My blinds are made to meet the latest British Standards for child safety and include safety features to make them as safe as possible for your home.

I charge £25 for a measuring appointment, which is then taken off the final quote when you place a curtain or blind order with me.

I do not currently offer a full fitting service, but can offer help with hanging curtains if poles are already in place and offer advise.

You can also add on matching tie backs and cushions to finish off your room and tie it all together.

Testimonials

  • I contacted Merlene to alter the sizing of a vintage paisley shirt for a wedding which was a couple of sizes too big. Merlene was quick to respond and suggested I provide her with a shirt of mine which I like the fit of. a little over two weeks and I received the finished shirt. I am so impressed with the outcome! the shirt fits absolutely perfectly and the finish is impeccable. thank you so, so much!

  • I can not thank Merlene enough! She saved me after I was let down by another seamstress that I had booked to do alterations on a bridesmaid. She did such a wonderful job, it was perfect, even under the time pressure I had! The dress fit perfectly. Thank you again x

  • Merlene was recommended to me to alter my bridesmaids dress. She was incredibly friendly and responsive to my emails. My dress needed a lot taken off of it but it was all finished in just over a week and looked great. I highly recommend using Merlene for a fast and reliable service at a great price!

  • We found Merlene in a local facebook group when we were looking for someone to alter a few curtains for our living room windows. She responded very quickly when we first messaged her and she was very helpful from the beginning. The quote we got was very reasonable so we decided to go with Made by Merlene and we weren't disappointed. She got the curtains done in just over a week and they came out exactly as we wanted. We were happy that we could support a new, local business. I also got to meet her lovely dog, which was a bonus. :)

  • Best seamstress I know. Merlene helped adjust all my groomsmen's and my wedding suit trousers in plenty of time before the big day. We all wouldn't have looked half as good without her :D
