Together we can create the look you want…

It has been a long time since I made wool curtains, as I am now. These lovelies were made quite a few years ago; and they worked out rather well, didn't they? #woolfabric #eyeletcurtains #bespokecurtains #madetomeasurecurtains #surreyinteriors

Still working my way through the mahoosive tweed curtains; so here's a lovely mitre for you 💕 #tweed #bespokecurtainsandblinds #bespokecurtains #madetomeasurecurtains #surreyinteriors

Fix up, look sharp! A sweet little Roman blind in the lovely herringbone tweed fabric, rounding off the weekend nicely. Doesn't the fabric make it look like a tailored jacket? #woolfabric #madetomeasureblinds #romanblind #bespokeromanblinds #romanblinds

Two pairs of deliciously gorgeous curtains made and fitted this time last year. Very appropriate, as I have been to the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show today 🌹 #bespokecurtainsandblinds #bespokecurtains #surreycurtainmaker #madetomeasurecurtainssurrey #madetomeasurecurtains

I'm beavering away in the workroom at the moment with not many fittings going on. And yes, it is so hot! 🔥 Anyhoo, here's a pair of dress curtains ready to be fitted next week. Ironically, given the recent heatwave, the fabric is fire retardant 😄 #madetomeasurecurtainssurrey #bespokecurtains #bespokecurtainsandblinds #curtains #handsewn

June is sometimes referred to as 'Flaming' and that's certainly been true for the last one. My little workroom has been a sweatshop! And very busy, too. Keep calm and carry on, folks; we must be due some rain soon 💕 #surreycurtainmaker #surreyinteriors #bespokecurtainsandblinds #bespokeromanblinds #madetomeasurecurtains

The nicest Roman blind ready for fitting and looking cool, even in this hot and steamy weather, in the workroom this afternoon 😎 #romanblind #romanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #madetomeasure #bespokeromanblinds

Honeybees are architects and mathematicians; and when the beekeeper leaves space in the new super and pops back a few days later with the missing frames, this is what she finds! Clever ladies 🐝 #honeybees #honeybeesofinstagram #honeybeecolony #honeybee #beekeepersofinstagram

This herringbone tweed wool fabric is waiting patiently on the table until Monday, ready for my next project. It has a gorgeous drape and is so smooth; absolutely delicious 💕 #herringbonetweed #bespokecurtainsandblinds #bespokecurtains #madetomeasurecurtainssurrey #madetomeasure

Two years ago, these sumptuous velvet curtains and Roman blind were made and fitted for a Master bedroom. Hello, #throwbackthursday 🧡 #bespokecurtainsandblinds #bespokeromanblinds #bespokecurtains #velvetcurtains

The sweetest little pair of pencil pleat curtains, fitted this week. They are having their pleats gently trained in with offcuts of fabric 💚 #pencilpleatcurtains #bespokecurtainsandblinds #bespokecurtains #cottagecore #cottagestyle

Little pops of colour against black fabric in the workroom today. It has been a while since I made pinch pleat curtains, so it was nice to get the clothes pegs out again to hold these pleats in place while I sew them 🌈 #pinchpleatcurtains #madetomeasurecurtains #madetomeasurecurtainssurrey #bespokecurtains #bespokecurtainsandblinds

Another day, another cute little cord bag for a pair of pencil pleat curtains 💚 #pencilpleatcurtains #cottagestyle #cottagecore #cottagecoreaesthetic #bespokecurtains

Old beekeeping lore states that aggressive honeybees are the best at making honey. Modern beekeepers know that is utter tosh. So, my friends; which of these three beehives do you think might be home to my aggressive colony? 🐝🐝🐝 #beekeepersofinstagram #beekeeper #honeybeesofinstagram #honeybees #honeybeecolony

I completely forgot that yesterday was #throwbackthursday, so let's do 'frobackfriday instead. These lovely curtains were made a fitted in a country cottage this time last year. And my customer was so happy, they came back for another pair 🧡 #cottagecore #moderncountryinteriors #cottagestyle #bespokecurtains

When your customer goes bold to stunning effect; eight Roman blinds and a pair of eyelet curtains look just right in this beautiful conservatory and will help keep the room cool in this hot weather 🔥 #bespokeromanblinds #bespokecurtainsandblinds #bespokeblinds #bespokecurtains #conservatory

...and a cute headboard, reupholstered for the same guest bedroom in the cottage. Sleep tight! 😴 #headboard #bespokeupholstery #bespokeheadboard #cottagecore #cottagecoreaesthetic

Roman blinds for a guest bedroom at the little cottage. It's always a challenge to work around wonky architecture but always fun 💕 #romanblinds #cottagecore #cottagecoreaesthetic #cottagestyle #madetomeasureblinds

Cottage pleat curtains for a cottage Master bedroom. A deep ruffle top with bump interlining in thick brushed cotton cream coloured fabric give a luxurious feel 🤍 #cottagestyle #cottagecore #cottagecoreaesthetic #cottage #bespokecurtains

This is colony number one and they are such lovely, calm bees. With a new queen in lay, they are very content, too 🐝 #honeybees #honeybeesofinstagram #honeybeecolony #beekeepersofinstagram #beekeeping

The sweetest, juiciest mitre on this curtain. Just right for a sunny Friday afternoon 😎 #bespokecurtainsandblinds #bespokecurtains #madetomeasurecurtains #surreyinteriors #interiorinspiration

Oh, hello #throwbackthursday. At over two widths of fabric, this Roman blind, made and fitted was a big fella 💛 #bespokeromanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #romanblind #romanblinds

Having a little fun in the workroom with some alterations today. Yes, I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but as I'm shortening these curtains that have a smart leading edge Greek key trim, I thought I'd make the little cord pocket out of the section I have removed. I know I'm probably the only person who will know it's there, but it's making me happy 😊 #bespokecurtains #pencilpleatcurtains #madetomeasurecurtains #madetomeasurecurtainssurrey #trimmings

A smart solution for a low and angled ceiling in a little cottage bathroom fitted last week; a roller blind made up in the same fabric as a pelmet tricks the eye into thinking the window is deeper than it is in reality and keeps things looking neat. #bathroomdecor #pelmets #bespokerollerblinds #madetomeasureblinds #cottagecore

This is the last of the eight Roman blinds that have been bringing a good deal of colour and pattern to the workroom. There are curtains to come, so I won't be waving goodbye to this fabric just yet. #romanblind #romanblinds #bespokeromanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #bespokecurtainsandblinds

Little details; a holdback for a pair of linen curtains in a pretty little cottage 💕 #cottagestyle #cottagecore #cottagecoreaesthetic #cottage #madetomeasurecurtains

Rolling back a couple of years for this week's #throwbackthursday and a very neat single curtain for a loft conversion window. Glorious views, both inside and out! #bespokecurtainsandblinds #bespokecurtains #madetomeasurecurtainssurrey #madetomeasurecurtains

The sweetest little cafe curtain fitted in a tiny wonky cottage curtain yesterday. The curtain is hand stitched and then threaded onto a slim rod. It's on an internal window over a staircase and the curtain is for when guests come to stay. At a drop of about 50 cm, just how cute is it? 💕 #cottagestyle #cottagecore #cottagecoreaesthetic #bespokecurtains #cafecurtains

Those details that elevate the mundane to the special; a roller blind, fitted in a newly renovated bathroom, has a contrasting bottom bar of wood for a tailored finish. #rollerblinds #rollerblind #madetomeasureblinds #bathroomdecor #surreyinteriors

There goes May; pretty much warm sunshine all the way, with lots of pretty projects and some downtime, too. How was yours? 🌞 #romanblind #romanblinds #bespokeromanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #bespokecurtainsandblinds

Say hello to the new queen reigning over colony number two; she's a beauty! 🐝 #queenbee #honeybees #honeybeesofinstagram #honeybeecolony #beekeepersofinstagram

A lovely fitting in a newly refurbished kitchen diner this week. The subtle flower print bring the garden in, and the yellow/ charcoal colourway is a great foil for the grey kitchen units 💛 #kitchendiner #kitchendecoration #kitcheninspo #bespokeromanblinds #madetomeasureblinds

A sweet treat for this week's #throwbackthursday; box cushions for the vintage caravan that is home to @mels.marvellous.cakes There were little pencil pleat curtains too. What fun! 🎂🍰🧁🫖 #boxcushions #vintagecaravan #bespokecushions #cushioncover

Spot the pin cushion! It's almost perfectly camouflaged against this brightly patterned leafy fabric. Eight Roman blinds coming up 🌿 #bespokeromanblinds #bespokecurtainsandblinds #madetomeasureblinds #romanblind #romanblinds

Safety first! A recent fitting of a blackout roller blind in a young man's room, and of course, we have fitted a 'p' clip in order to tether the chain to the wall as per current safety guidelines. So; parents will get a good night's sleep, not only because their child will have a darker room, but also because they are relaxed in knowing that the roller blind chain won't cause any safety issues. #rollerblinds #rollerblind #madetomeasureblinds #blackoutblinds #childsafetyfirst

Making up this pretty linen fabric into a pair of pencil pleat curtains today, and here's an extra bespoke feature; a little cord tidy bag made from leftover fabric 💕 #bespokecurtainsandblinds #bespokecurtains #cottagecore #cottagecoreaesthetic #cottagestyle

Next up on my worktable; the prettiest printed linen for the sweetest cottage 💕 #cottagecore #cottagecoreaesthetic #cottagestyle #bespokecurtains #madetomeasurecurtains

It's #throwbackthursday folks, and more leftovers cushions from this time last year to share. The Roman blinds had been fitted just in time for the Christmas before, and these chaps joined them a few months later. #bespokecushions #bespokeromanblinds #romanblinds #cushions #artdecointerior

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a wedge shaped pelmet newly reupholstered and ready for its new home. There's a matching roller blind and both will be fitted in a cottage bathroom with a sloping ceiling. #pelmets #upholsteredpelmets #cottagecore #cottagestyle #bespokerollerblinds

It's #internationalbeeday today, so what better way to celebrate than with one of my ladies? 🐝 #beekeepersofinstagram #honeybeesofinstagram #honeybees #honeybee

This is the first of recently united colonies; lovely calm honeybees who are all best friends now. Their neighbours across the other side of the apiary? Quite a different story 😱🐝🐝🐝 #honeybeesofinstagram #honeybeecolony #honeybee #honeybees #beekeepersofinstagram

Perfectly plain and simple; grey linen mix pencil pleat curtains for a rental property 🩶 #pencilpleatcurtains #madetomeasurecurtains #bespokecurtains #surreyinteriors

A little cushion action for this week's #throwbackthursday to match last week's; leftovers cushions are so satisfying to make 💙 #bespokecushions #cushionlove #cushioncover #cushions #cushion

A pretty Roman blind finished off today; there's another to come for fitting in a sunny newly renovated kitchen 🌞 #kitchendecoration #kitchendiner #bespokeromanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #handsewnromanblinds

What a fabulous trip to Hampton Court (Yes! Actual Hampton Court!) today to this year's @tasteof.design A great show, seeing suppliers old and new, and friends in the trade too. #surreyinteriors #surreycurtainmaker #bespokecurtainsandblinds #madetomeasurecurtainssurrey #madetomeasurecurtains

One of today's fittings; I'm just loving this customer's style 💙 #bespokeromanblinds #handsewnromanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #romanblind #romanblinds

The prettiest fitting yesterday; my lovely customer knew exactly what she wanted, and, of course I delivered. Fabric is from @megmorton_fabrics and delicious pompoms from @thepompomery 💕 #bespokeromanblinds #bespokeblinds #cottagecore #cottagecoreaesthetic #cottagestyle

A funky Roman blind for a spare bedroom, fitted last year, and featured for this week's #throwbackthursday Let the sun shine in! But keeping in dark at night with blackout interlining so that guests get a good night's sleep 🌙 #guestbedroom #madetomeasureblinds #bespokeromanblinds #bespokecurtainsandblinds #interiorinspiration

Many, many pins to keep this in place while I hand sew the top of the Roman blind to the back. Nearly finished! 💙 #romanblind #romanblinds #bespokeromanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #bespokecurtainsandblinds

A visit to the apiary today as yesterday was too chilly and wet; this little honeybee is just hanging out and being companiable 🐝 #honeybees #honeybeesofinstagram #honeybee #honeybeecolony #beekeepersofinstagram

Next up on the table for a super wide Roman blind. Loving the colours and pattern 💙 #romanblind #bespokeromanblinds #bespokeromanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #romanblind

Prettiness on a Friday; a classic colour combo of pink, green and cream, flowers on linen and pompoms. What's not to love? 💕 #cottagecore #cottagestyle #cottagecoreaesthetic #bespokeromanblinds #madetomeasureblinds

A beautiful and sunny tower room deserved beautiful Roman blinds. Made and fitted this time last year, the subtle green design of the face fabric brought the garden inside. What a fabulous bedroom 💚 #throwbackthursday #interiorinspiration #surreyinteriors #cottagecore #bespokeromanblinds

April has been a blinding month (see what I did there? 😄). Roman blinds all round, in beautiful fabrics and designs; and some little pleated ones, too, just for some variety 💕 #romanblind #romanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #bespokeromanblinds #bespokeblinds

Two little Roman blinds all ready for a guest bedroom. The brushed cotton face fabric is so cosy 💕 #madetomeasureblinds #handsewnromanblinds #bespokeromanblinds #romanblinds #romanblind

A trip to Cheltenham today to check out suppliers at @cabmffapriloctoberinteriorsand meeting friends in the trade. A whole day of talking all things soft furnishings. What a fabulous time! 💕 #surreyinteriors #surreycurtainmaker #interiorinspiration #bespokecurtainsandblinds #madetomeasurecurtainssurrey

Behold the towering impressiveness that is two colonies becoming one. It's swarming season, folks, and there are various ways of dealing with this natural phenomenon. I want fewer, not more, colonies, so I'm combining these two using a sheet of the Financial Times. The bees can check their investments whilst making friends 😄🐝 #beekeepersofinstagram #beekeeping #honeybeesofinstagram #honeybeecolony #honeybee

Ooh, how I love a trimming! I have already made a couple of Roman blinds with this trimming in a darker shade of blue for a guest bedroom. This lighter shade is for a blind in a bathroom. Dreamy 💙 #trimmings #bespokeromanblinds #bespokecurtainsandblinds #interiorinspiration #surreyinteriors

If you have been following me for a little while (and thank you if you have!) you will know that I love making Roman blinds for bay windows. Here's such a one for these week's #throwbackthursday ...and there's even bobbles 💙 #baywindow #romanblinds #romanblind #bespokeromanblinds #trimmings

A delightfully cushiony mitre on the table; soft brushed cotton and bump interlining. #mitre #madetomeasurecurtainssurrey #madetomeasurecurtains #bespokecurtains #bespokecurtainsandblinds

And the last item for this newly renovated home for a young couple; a pair of soft linen voile curtains. These will help filter light and offer daytime privacy. #voilecurtains #voile #madetomeasurecurtains #bespokecurtains #bespokecurtainsandblinds

Happy Easter Sunday from the honeybees at colony number two 🐝 #honeybees #honeybeesofinstagram #honeybeecolony #beekeepersofinstagram #beekeeping

Happy Easter from Honeybee Handmade! Whatever you're doing I hope it's lovely 🐣 #surreycurtainmaker #surreyinteriors #bespokecurtainsandblinds #handsewnwithlove #madetomeasurecurtainssurrey

Here's a pretty Easter #throwbackthursday . I hope you all have a lovely bank holiday weekend and that the weather is with you 🌞 #cushionlove #cushions #cushion #bespokecushions

It's a wide one, folks! This Roman blind is so wide I didn't think I'd be able to get it in my car to go fit it yesterday. Its new home is only around the corner from me, so it wasn't going to be a problem but it turned out I could just about squeeze it in. Anyhoo; isn't this display of butterflies for a guest bedroom just glorious? 🦋 #madetomeasureblinds #romanblinds #romanblind #bespokeromanblinds #guestbedroom

Today's fitting for a bay window; an amazing transformation for this home office. There's a strange reflection from the pole showing on the photo...not sure what's going on there! 💚 #baywindow #madetomeasureblinds #romanblinds #bespokeromanblinds #romanblind

Master bedroom vibes; this fabric, chosen for a sunny loft bedroom, makes me think of sunshine and warm weather. And cowboys, horses and deserts....just me? Oh, okay 🌵🐎 🌞 #masterbedroommakeover #masterbedroomdesign #bespokeromanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #romanblind

Under the hive roof; honeybees going about their business in the sunshine today 🐝 #honeybees #honeybeesofinstagram #honeybeecolony ##honeybee #beekeepersofinstagram

Silly me; I missed #throwbackthursday , so let's have a #flashbackfriday instead. Little cushions finished a little while ago; aren't they cute? #cushion #cushions #cushioncover

Look at how cool you can make your roller blind! I just love how a metal bottom bar and matching chain really elevates the look of this roller blind we fitted recently. #rollerblinds #rollerblind #bespokerollerblinds #madetomeasureblinds #interiorinspiration

Plump and a little bit sassy; just how I like my cushions! A little quartet I made today all ready for their new home 💙🧡

A gorgeously bright Roman blind made and fitted in a sunny spare bedroom last week. The blind is wider than a width of fabric, and I made up the difference with a contrast plain 🧡 #interiorinspiration #bespokeromanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #bespokecurtainsandblinds #romanblind

Now you see them, now you don't! Pleated tensioned blinds, fitted today, are a solution for a home office that needs privacy from other members of the household from time to time. Neat. #blinds #homeofficedecor #homeofficeideas #madetomeasureblinds #interiorinspiration

I just love a geometric print for a Roman blind; it's always interesting where the pattern falls 💙 #romanblinds #romanblind #bespokeromanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #bespokecurtainsandblinds

#throwbackthursday today to the cutest leftovers cushion made this time last year. The fabric was from curtains that I had altered, with the candy cane piping made from the lining. Sweet! 😋

And following yesterday's post, here's Mum and Dad's room. My absolute favourite colour! #victorianhome #victoriancottage #bespokeromanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #romanblinds

Feeling in the pink today with the fitting of a soft brushed cotton Roman blind today. Interlined with a bonded blackout fabric, there will be a good night's sleep all round 😴 #surreyinteriors #interiorinspiration #bespokeromanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #romanblind

Next on the table for three Roman blinds; doesn't this linen mix fabric look just like spring? #romanblind #romanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #baywindow #bespokeromanblinds

Happy Mothering Sunday from the mother of the colony; the queen. She's looking a little frantic, as all mums do from time to time, but don't worry; she was released as soon as her marking dried 🐝💕 #motheringsunday #queenbee #honeybeesofinstagram #beekeepersofinstagram #honeybees

Stretching off into the weekend; this wide Roman blind...lots or room for butterflies 🦋 #bespokecurtainsandblinds #bespokeromanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #romanblinds #romanblind

A little piped cushion action for this week's #throwbackthursday This little chap was made this time last year; a sweet treat made up in leftover fabric from a Roman blind 💕 #pipedcushions #bespokecushions #cushion #cushions

Isn't the sunshine fabulous? Well, it has been in my neck of the woods recently. But you can have too much of a good thing; in this case, an east facing window is a bit too bright in the mornings. Here, a voile roller blind provides a perfect solution; now you see it, now you don't. #rollerblinds #rollerblind #madetomeasureblinds #bespokerollerblinds #interiorinspiration

I'm all of a flutter in the workroom today while preparing this pretty butterfly fabric. Isn't it pretty? 🦋 #romanblind #romanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #bespokeromanblinds #bespokecurtainsandblinds

I've been working on a big pile of cushions today; these are all ready to go to their new home 💙 #cushionlove #bespokecushions #cushions #pipedcushions #cushion

I think it's fair to say that spring has finally sprung, and with it, my first full inspection of my honeybee colonies. All are looking good, especially these ladies, with the exception of one; I think that the queen had died off at some point in the winter, as there were plenty of stores. So many stores, in face, that a mouse had taken up residence in the brood box. A dry, warm home with plenty of honey to eat; the mouse has had a lovely winter! 🐝 🐁 #honeybeesofinstagram #honeybeecolony #honeybees #beekeepersofinstagram #beekeeping

Rounding off the week with this luscious Roman blind in a soft glaucous green. All ready for next week's fitting and I'm certainly ready for Friday. How has your week been? 💚 #romanblind #madetomeasureblinds #bespokeromanblinds #romanblinds #interiorinspiration

Roman blinds, a shaped box cushion and scatter cushions made this time last year. What a lovely place to sit for a while 💙 #baywindow #bespokeblinds #bespokecurtainsandblinds #boxcushions #bespokecushions

Feeling in the pink with this hot brushed cotton Roman blind, freshly made and all ready for a little girl's bedroom 🌸 #bespokecurtainsandblinds #bespokeromanblinds #romanblinds #romanblind #madetomeasureblinds

Let the sunshine in! Or not, depending on your personal preference 🌞 An aluminium Venetian blind fitted on a big window today; being aluminium, it's easy to operate as it's so light. #venetianblinds #madetomeasureblinds #blinds #interiorinspiration #surreyinteriors

Green is absolutely my favourite colour; and St Patrick's Day is the perfect excuse to celebrate today with a veritable parade of a few green cushions I have made over the last couple of years. Enjoy! ☘️ #stpatricksdayparade #bespokecushions #cushions #cushionlove #cushion

Rounding off the week with another Roman blind in this cosy brushed cotton; looking fine and dandy for a newly decorated Master bedroom 🤎 Got anything nice on this weekend? #masterbedroommakeover #masterbedroomdesign #bespokeromanblinds #madetomeasureblinds #romanblind

It's #throwbackthursday folks, which means tomorrow is Friday, huzzah! This little Roman blind, made and fitted this time last year, is so sweet. And look how the folds on the blind worked out! A pure fluke, obviously 😄 #interiorinspiration #madetomeasureblinds #bespokeromanblinds #romanblinds #romanblind

A part of a Roman blind that you don't usually see; neat little herringbone stitches attaching the face fabric to the interlining. This will all be covered up by the lining once that is slip stitched on 🤎 #bespokeromanblinds #bespokecurtainsandblinds #madetomeasureblinds #romanblinds #romanblind

This Roman blind is rocking the contrast panel borders. I this gorgeous orange and cream fabric that takes its inspiration from zebras 🦓 #romanblind #romanblinds #bespokeromanblinds #bespokecurtainsandblinds #interiorinspiration

Even curtain makers get a little trip out sometimes, and @pretty_swish_home and I took ourselves off to Chelsea Harbour today to check out the newly launched fabric and trimmings collections. A jolly good day out and lots of inspiration! #surreyinteriors #surreycurtainmaker #interiorinspiration #bespokecurtains #bespokecurtainsandblinds
