Made to Measure Curtains

Here at The Fabric Stores in Mansfield we understand that curtains are a key component in your design scheme.

Our made to measure curtains, because they have been made specially for your home, will fit your windows perfectly and, with our in-store help and advice, will be a completely stress free experience.

Our made to measure curtain service offers you an almost unlimited choice of design, colour, heading and size options, all made locally by experts to allow you to create a look that is tailored perfectly to suit your home and taste.

We hold over 9,000 metres of fabric in stock and display as many as we can in 2.5 metre lengths to make it easier to visualise the finished product. In addition we have access to literally thousands of designs and colours from major UK fabric converters. We are confident that our Curtain Fabric selection is the largest in the Mansfield area.

Our Custom Made curtains are available in a variety of different headings – we can supply eyelet headings in different colours, double or triple pinch pleat headings and the traditional 3” pencil pleat or a deeper 6" pencil pleat. We also supply curtains with wave heading.

We offer a UK made polycotton lining or soft drape blackout lining. All can be combined with an additional interlining if you wish.

We ask in the first instance that you provide us with measurements for costing purposes. Do not worry about 100% accuracy, if you wish we will visit to confirm exact sizes before anything is made.
We advise fitting your track or pole before you measure. You can either do this yourself or we can provide a fitter to do it. Centre your track or pole approximately 15cm (6”) above your window, allowing a 15-20cm (6-8") overlap on either side.

Measuring Width
Measure the width of your track or pole (exclude finials on poles)
If you measure the window from recess to recess we can also work from this if a pole or track has not yet been fitted.

Measuring curtain drop
For eyelet curtains measure from the top of the pole to your chosen end point.
For pencil and pinch pleat curtains, measure from the base of a curtain ring to your chosen end point, for tracks measure from the top of the track.

We recommend the following:
• Sill length curtains finish 1cm above the windowsill
• Below-sill length curtains finish around 15cm below the windowsill or 2cm above the radiator.
• Floor length curtains finish around 1cm above the floor

Top tip: Windowsills and floors are not always level, so measure at each end.
