Made to Measure Curtains
Sustainable, eco-friendly curtains are made from fabrics which include flax, to create our unique linen union curtains. Our curtain fabric is organic and more sustainable than traditional fabrics because of the natural pesticide free production methods.
We use certified organic cotton combined with eco-friendly flax, to create our unique Linen Union for our curtain fabrics.
We do this because Vanessa was horrified to discover the methods used to produce nonorganic cotton and the reliance on heavy chemical pesticides which are both hazardous to human and animal health.
Having lived in one of the UK's most beautiful regions, the Cotswolds, for over 35 years, Vanessa is committed to working with local, specialist, and highly skilled craftspeople to make all our bespoke products.
We are aware of our responsibilities to the environment and are wholly committed to improving manufacturing processes in line with this. We choose to work only with ethical and accredited suppliers and we make business decisions based on the impact on the wider, global environment. We source our electricity from renewable resources, this shows that we support the generation of renewable energy. Find out more about our environmental responsibility pledge.
Here is how to design your interiors with a larger focus on sustainablity and with an environmental focus.

How to measure up for your curtains:
A video guide to help you measure up
Please remember that pattern repeats and fabric widths are automatically calculated if you order through our website. It is advisable to fit your pole or track before ordering your curtains. Your pole or track should ideally extend 30cms on each side of the window so when drawn back light is maximised and at least 15cms above the top of the window to block out as little light as possible again. Please use metric units only when measuring.
Poles:
Width: If you have a pole, measure the distance between the finials. (A)
Finished Length for pencil pleat, triple pleat and double pleat - when measuring the finished length using a curtain pole, we recommend allowing between 2cms and 5cms above the eyelet on the underside of the curtain ring, depending on how much of the pole and rings you wish to hide. From the measurement you choose above the eyelet, measure down to the bottom of the hem (see B & C) and that is your finished length measurement.
Finished length for cottage pleat (choice of either 5cm or 10cm depth)- these have to be made using a 3cm single position tape, which makes the finished length non adjustable. To measure the finished length for this header, please provide us with the distance from the eyelet to the floor, and depending on your choice of depth, add 5cm or 10cm accordingly.
Finished length for flop over frill - these curtains have to be made with a 3cm single position tape which makes the finished length non adjustable. To measure the finished length for this header, just give us the measurement from the eyelet to the floor. Don't add any extra for the frill, we will do that.
Please note, we will add 25cm for hem allowance.
Tracks
Width - If you have a track, measure the total length of the track, including any overlap where the curtains meet in the middle.
Finished length: For pencil pleat, triple pleat and double pleat - when measuring the finished length of your curtains using a track add 1cm above the track (to hide the track) down to the bottom of the hem. (D)*
Finished length for cottage pleat (choice of either 5cm or 10cm depth)- these have to be made using a 3cm single position tape, which makes the finished length non adjustable. To measure the finished length for this header, please provide us with the distance from the eyelet to the floor, and depending on your choice of depth, add 5cm or 10cm accordingly.
Finished length for flop over frill curtains - these have to made with a one inch single position tape which makes the finished length non-adjustable. To get your finished length measurement, just give us the measurement from the eyelet to the floor and don't add any extra for the frill as we will do this.
Please note, we will add 30cms for hem allowance.
