Wanhope Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Just wondering whether any local crafty mums might do this as a sideline? Have some lovely fabric and could take it into a commercial producer of some sort, but just wanted to check first whether anyone can/ is able to make fabric blinds on a work-from-home/ sideline sewing basis? It doesn't seem like a massively complicated thing to produce, though sadly beyond my own very meagre sewing abilities!

PohSuan Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hi I made the roman blind for Wanhope after she contacted me. I am based locally and am happy to given free quotes for roman blinds. Please find my Facebook page below for photo of previous projects. I made bespoke roman blinds, cushions, a bit of upholstery and some handmade crafts that I sell at the Hill Trader in Telegraph Hill. Please do excuse the quality of the photos, it is on my list of jobs to get more professional photos done as the lighting is dreadful on mine.https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.261779510636112.1073741830.261770107303719&type=3You can contact me via PM on EDF or through the Facebook page.Many ThanksMel Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/47909-fabric-blinds-can-any-local-mums-make-these/#findComment-780398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
