Fabric blinds -- can any local mums make these?


Wanhope

Recommended Posts

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!

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.

You can contact me via PM on EDF or through the Facebook page.



Many Thanks

Mel

Look forward to hearing from you.

    • Hi folks. A reply from Events re my questions: "Thank you for taking the time to send us this feedback.   We have an internal event debrief booked to take place on Thursday 18 July and all of the issues you have raised have been recorded and will be reviewed at this meeting. I will be able to respond fully to you after this meeting has taken place. There will also be an opportunity for local residents to attend a community debrief meeting. This is scheduled to take place at a venue close to the park w/c 22 July. This meeting will be facilitated by the GALA team, but council officers will be present also. Details will be circulated to those on the council’s stakeholder register and GALA’s stakeholder register and also to anyone who has complained about the event but does not have their contact details listed on either register.     If you have any further questions in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Charlie Simm         Senior Events Officer       London Borough of Southwark Email direct: [email protected]           Email general: [email protected]  Tel: 020 7525 2739" We must go to the meeting if you're invited because you made a complaint, or are on the list from being invited to the pre-Festival meetings.  
    • The Ivy House, lovely as it is,  doesn't book rooms for parties any more, to the best of my knowledge, except in exceptional circumstances. Though you could ask, in case things have changed again. The Castle has a nice function room upstairs, but I have no idea if they book it out  for private parties.
    • We use Virtuo when we go away for a few days, really nice cars (Merc GLA; BMW 1) that are new and clean. They can drop off the car to your house (or street) and pick it up at the end - again, not for a single day, but we tend to go for 3/4 days. Not the cheapest but competitive and for the great cars - we like it. There is also pick-up from ncp near Guy's Hospital. Here's a £30 off referral https://tinyurl.com/virtuoED if you're interested (yes I get that too).  I recently used Zip car for a daily rental-  was more expensive than virtuo rate (though local ED pickup was a plus) - but a 70k mile clapped out MG was a pretty terrible experience - squealy breaks, no suspension, the leather'ish drivers seat threadbare on right side. Surprised any car rental company could keep vehicles on the road that long.  
    • We always use Balfes and they are very good too.
