Window treatments and other details can update your style by enhance your room’s mood or atmosphere. If you are working with a decorator or just find a magazine photo–I can bring it to life!

My work can be categorized into two groups:

• Windows – this includes valances, draperies, cornices and roman shades

• Custom Sewing – including cushions, pillows and bedding

Read what some of my customers have to say–

I am a local interior designer and Sewing By Selma has been fabricating most of my custom window treatments for over 12 years. I feel the quality of her finished products far surpasses any factory work. She also meets all my deadlines and gets the product to me in a state that it rarely needs to be steamed or ironed out. —R Settineri

My experience of working with Selma has been so easy. She walks through step by step. Her knowledge coupled by her keen eye for detail & excellent communication skills made it so fun. Selma has saved me a fortune on designer looks for a fraction of the price. I am currently planning our next project. —N H Schepp

As a child, I remember always being in my mother’s workroom. She was a professional seamstress for 40+ years and my inspiration. I graduated in 1991 with a B.S. in Management from Binghamton University. While pregnant with my first son in 1994, I wanted to become self-employed so that I could raise my boys while staying in the workforce. The idea hit me: I love to sew! Why not sew for a living? 30 years later, I am still doing what I love!

I work with both designers and individuals. I have made curtains and blinds for large commercial venues such as country clubs and funeral homes. I also have customers who request custom pieces as small as throw pillows for a guest room. For the past 10+ years, I have created curtains for some of the houses featured in the Parade of Homes.

Quality curtains and blinds made for you…delivered to you

My process is simple – once you contact me with an idea, I will create it! This is what happens after you initially contact me:

1. Idea – I will ask for some pictures or drawings of what you are interested in.
2. Estimate – I will give you an estimate to the yardage, labor and time requirements.
3. Purchase Materials – I can direct you to some places to purchase fabrics if you have not already made a selection.
4. …if necessary, I can make a sample to give both you and I a more definite idea of what you are looking for.
5. Fabrication – Once you have decided that you would like me to fabricate your product, either I or my installer will make the final measurements. From there I will stay in contact with you throughout the fabrication to be sure all the details are covered.
6. Payment and Delivery – When the product is completed, payment will be made to me upon delivery. If I purchase hardware or fabric for you, then a 50% down payment will be required.
