some photos

[filw]

High all,
first post on here, though I've been visiting and reading for some time. It's nice to find a group of people who really take a pride in what they do. Some of the work that I have fitted made by others leaves me in despair.........................
However I thought I would share some of our latest project with you all.

I'd like to pick your collective brains about a complicated Lambrequin I have to do but I'll post a pic for that later.

Feel free to comment.

Cheers,

Phil.

Re: some photos

Wow they are all stunning..whoever made them should be very proud.

I especially like the offset design on the middle pelmet. What are the little round bits?

Re: some photos

Absolutely beautiful! You really should be smiling as you read the comments.

What is the dining room fabric? Do you make your own pelmets or send them out?

You will be inundated with questions now lol!

Re: some photos

Lovely curtains and I especially like the middle ones with the design offset on the pelmet, really unusual and an eye catcher

Hi Phil

Welcome to the forum and thank you for sharing the pictures with us, the middle picture certainly grabs your attention. I like the way you've done the pelmet, it has a deco feel to it.

Re: some photos

Yes, I do like the drawing room one!

Re: some photos

They all look wonderful, and I too like the unusual middle one. Beautiful finishing touches on all of them with braid or cord. Did you dream up the pelmet designs yourself? Welcome to the forum - 'spect you will be hooked like the rest of us soon. I get withdrawal symptoms when I can't log on and see what's going on!

The tufts are small tassle/tuft things that match the braid.

Thanks for the compliment.
The dining room fabric is Zoffany "Cherry Blossom" (I think)

We do all work in house. Pelmets are madse on 6mm ply, the dining room & Drawing room have 10oz dacron wadding to give them some depth. The egding on the dining room was particularily challenging with the complex shape!!!

(and yes I am smiling, thanks!)

These pelmets were specified by a designer we work with.

Here's a few more.......

Re: some photos

They are all really lovely. I can't get over how you have done the edging on the Zoffany one as it isn't braid I presume. It looks magnificent clever you. Beautiful fabric too.

Re: some photos

They really are fabulous. No wonder you're smiling.

I've got a 3m pelmet with a scalloped bottom to recover soon - hope you're ready for all my questions!

Re: some photos

All beautiful. Out of interest, where abouts are you based?
