It’s another busy day in our MK Seamstress studio in Bletchley, Milton Keynes — and today there are plenty of curtains waiting to be shortened!

These behind-the-scenes photographs show our team hard at work, measuring fabric and working at the sewing machines. It’s the sort of careful, hands-on work that goes on in our studio every day.

Getting the length just right

Curtains can make all the difference to a room, but the length needs to suit your windows. Whether you’ve bought ready-made curtains that are too long or you’re changing the look of an existing pair, professional curtain shortening can give them a neater, more tailored finish.

Each job starts with the details: the length required, the type of fabric, any lining and the finish you want. Then it’s time for measuring, pinning, sewing and checking the result.

Real people, real workmanship

We love sharing genuine glimpses of life at MK Seamstress. Alongside our clothing alterations and occasionwear work, curtain alterations are an important part of what our skilled team does.
