Making a Bit Of Time for Others...

Have you ever felt like you would like to help other...
In 2012 I had breast cancer, I am very well now thanks to brilliant care from Bolton hospital!

That being a few years ago now, it makes you think what you could do for others in the same position I was once in. If you have a skill you can put to some use, it gives you a sense of satisfaction that you are helping out in some way, even if it's only a little bit.

I also can not walk to far as I have a back problem...anyways, I can't go running for Macmillon, as much as I'd love to... but I can sew! So, I am making little cotton bags that women use to put their drain bag in when they have an operation. Someone gave me a pretty bag when I had my operation, so now I am helping in that way...just give a little back...just to help a little, makes you feel useful that you can help out in someway.

Why am I telling you this? because, any money I make selling any curtains I have made, I can buy more material to make these bags for the ladies that need them. So I'm not making a profit I'm selling curtains to help out. Thanks for reading.

Curtains Made For You...

Hi welcome to my 'Blog'



 My Name is Veronica Evans and I live in the Northwest of England.

Are you re-decorating? moving house? I could make your new curtains for you!

Have you found some gorgeous material you would like to be made up into curtains for that special room? living room, bedroom, baby/children's room, teenagers room or even your kitchen.

 I will be showing you curtains I can make for you, using your material. But my tape and cotton.

I have been sewing and making  curtains for over 25 yrs... and some ... as well as sewing all sorts of different things for people, but my main passion is making curtains. Some curtains that I have made, were very expensive, and very large. Not your normal house curtains.

I can make curtains, as in- taped at the top for your hooks.

Also lined curtains, I used to make, lined velvet curtain samples for a company, but sadly they have gone now with the recession, like a lot of others.

I will put some photos on here soon, so you can see my work, and anything you like you can phone or email me to discuss sizes and pricing.

I can pickup and deliver if your in the Rochdale,Radcliffe,Whitefield, Bury and surrounding areas.

If you live further afield it is possible for me to make curtains for you, but you would have to bring them and pick them up or pay for postage...which could be expensive as curtain material is not the lightest of materials.

The taped curtains are in different sizes of tape;

1 inch wide....25mm Heading ruffle tape
2 inch wide....50mm pencil pleats
3 inch wide....75mm pencil pleats
6inch deep pencil pleats
6 inch wide pinch pleat (curtain gathers at intervals)

Lined curtains
Blackout curtains
Thermal curtains
Double width or single width
Any length

Can add leaded weights to make the curtain hang better, or lead weights are better on very straight curtains on a pole.
Can be mitred... hand sewing the corners


I will put another post on here as I do more curtains.

Please feel free to contact me. You can ask any questions on the contact form below.
or you can email me at curtainsmadeforyou@yahoo.com
or you can phone Veronica on this number  07483 293842 

 P.S. if you don't get an answer please leave a message and I will phone you back asap. Thank you.
