Custom Curtains & Drapery Workrooms
5,008 of the 34,783 sewing and fabric businesses we track nationwide have custom curtains, drapery or window treatments. Ready-made panels come in three lengths; windows do not. Shops listed here make or alter curtains to measure — including hemming store-bought panels, which is the cheapest way to get a proper floor-length drop. Measure the rod-to-floor drop before you call: almost every quote starts with that number and the number of panels.

Decide on the look before measuring. Curtains that just touch the floor need an exact drop; a puddled look adds 2-6 inches; café length stops at the sill. Lining changes both price and behaviour — blackout lining costs more but also hangs straighter.
Common questions
- How much does it cost to have curtains hemmed?
- Commonly $20-40 per panel depending on lining and length, and lined blackout panels cost more because both layers are handled. Many shops quote per pair rather than per panel, so ask which they mean.
- Can a tailor shorten ready-made curtains?
- Yes, and it is routine work for a drapery workroom or an alterations shop. Bring the panels with the hardware already installed if you can, so the drop is measured against the rod you actually have.
