2) Scandi Stripe is a colourful stripe, with a much more contemporary feel, with two striking colourways: Warm & Cool. Since they are woven with five different coloured stripes, they co-ordinate with many of our fabrics.
3) Nordic Stripe evokes wood panelled interiors and warm log fires. Co-ordinates include Paisley Ground – Limestone, Raspberry, Stripe and Dash – Apple Green and Raspberry and Flora and Fauna – Mushroom and Raspberry, and all Tomato fabrics
4) Malmo is a beautiful striped design, ideal for curtains. It includes oranges and blues on a Linen Union fabric, also with a wonderful embroidered motif.

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.
