Thanks to my daughter!
I grew up watching my mum sew curtains on our dining table and later took fabric‑shop trips with her. That led me to study clothing design at the London College of Fashion and to work in both menswear and womenswear. Years later, I began sewing curtains for my wife, then for friends, and eventually for clients and businesses in San Francisco. When COVID hit, work stopped and income disappeared. My 9‑year‑old daughter kept pitching an invention and asked me to help sell it on Etsy. She sold a few doll‑bed phone chargers we made, and that gave me the idea to sell curtains on Etsy. I now have an online store to custom‑make every order and serve many more customers across the US. If not for my daughter and Etsy, I don’t know how we’d have made it through COVID.

Locally Made
Flax (Linum usitatissimum) is an ancient plant with a long history and is cultivated for its fiber. The result is linen fabric: strong, breathable, naturally lustrous, and thermally responsive. Because flax fibers are long and cellulose-rich, linen has high tensile strength, good moisture wicking, and a characteristic crisp but softening hand with use and washing. Flax cultivation and processing can be low-impact—especially with dew retting and mechanical processing—making linen a sustainable choice when produced with local, responsibly managed resources.

How to measure for your curtains:
Finished panel widths are measured flat across the top of the curtain. To get the folded look shown, take your rod width and multiply it by 1.4. That total is the width you’ll order. Example: 37" × 1.4 = 51.8", or for a pair of curtains, order two at 26" wide. Wider spans, a 1.35 multiplier also works.
The top has a 3" buckram for structure, and the side and bottom hems are ½". Length measurements run from the very top of the curtain to the bottom hem.

Curtains do not come with drapery pin hooks. If you'd like drapery pins, you can order them from the products page.

PLEASE READ➥ This is an important note- The panels when finished are measured flat at the top of the curtain, so to have a curtain like the one in the picture with folds in the top you will need to take your window measurement times it by 1.4 that will be your measurement of the pinch pleat curtains you’ll order. An example would be, if your window width is 37” x 1.4 = order a curtain 52” wide. IF you'd like two curtains per window, you’d order two curtains at 26” wide. For larger window widths, a x 1.35 will work, still give you a full look, a larger width would be a window or rod over 40". The top of the curtain has a 3" buckram to create stiffness, and the hems on the sides and the bottom of the curtain are 1/2". Measurements in the listing are from the top of the curtain to the bottom of the curtain. I call this the length (drop).
Available in multiple widths and lengths, if you do not find the size you are looking for, please message me.

Hardware not included. See products page for rings and clips.
I ship my orders out via FedEx or UPS ground, upgrades on shipping available.
The length of the clips I sell will add 2” to the length of the curtains (note. The rings you choose might be a different length), so if your measurement from the top of your rod to the windowsill is 22.5” order a 20” curtain, this will give you a 1/5" gap from the windowsill to the bottom of the curtain hem.
Actual color may vary slightly from what appears on your monitor. The color is an optic white linen. medium-weight semi-sheer linen.
I custom-make your curtains in a smoke-free environment. The linen in this listing is neither sheer nor heavy, so it is perfect to keep your room bright. The fabric is environmentally friendly, and no part of the linen production causes air or water pollution.
If you need to wash the linen, do so at low temperatures in lukewarm or cold water, and preferably soft water. Use the gentle machine cycle and a mild detergent to protect the fibers. Use a hot iron while the linen is still slightly damp if you want to press your linen and have a flat, crisp look, though linen does become softer after each wash.
Linen uses fewer resources in its production, so it is also an eco-friendlier is thus a sustainable material.
I also offer the café curtains in bleached white 100% linen, please visit my shop to find that listing.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Processing times on larger orders could take a little more time. I can confirm before you order. (Larger orders would be 10+)
Thank you.
