curtain maker

[melgecolea]

Does anyone know where I can go to have some curtains made that won't cost a fortune?

Define fortune .. and where abouts are you in HK?

(Answers are usually going to be as specific as the questions!)

In Central.
I'm happy to pay a few hundred dollars per set if I provide the fabric and the curtain rods are already up. It's literally for the sewing and curtain hooks.

How many sets do you have? You can go to Sham Shui Po and have one of the shops there do it. It will likely take a few days (possibly delayed slightly longer) and I think pricing is within your budget.

If you are doing rods, it's fairly easy, have you thought about doing it yourself? If you have a sewing machine.

If you are doing pleats then you need the strip at the top and about 2.25-2.5 x the length worth of material.

Thank you for that MandM, I might try Shamshuipo since I'm not confident in my curtain making skills

Thanks Rani, all the contacts are there, great!

I just used these guys again after five years, and freakishly they remembered me from the first time I went there.

I've found them to be friendly and competent. They have a really wide range of fabric prices. I have no idea how much they charge just for production if you supply materials though.

I had used the place next door to them in the past (can't recall the name of the place, and not even sure if it's still there), and had a really shitty experience with the manager, so I wouldn't recommend the place next door.

Warning: It's a bit of a hike to get to, halfway between Mong Kok and Prince Ed stations along Fa Yuen Street (super crowded and full of street stalls). It's slightly less crowded if you walk down from Prince Ed station.

Thanks jgl, I'm impressed they remembered you after 5 years, always a good sign! I'll check out their website.
