SUMMER DAYS?
Late last summer Wioleta, WK bespoke blinds and curtains and I, Suzanne Jaconelli Handcrafted Curtains & Blinds made these lovely garden box cushions to fit my bench and newly fitted bench made by . By the time they were ready it was Autumn and they were straight up in the attic. So glad I did them early now as I got to make the most of them this Spring but where is our summer now? really hoping I get to use them again soon!
Fabric is from the stunning Romo Mokolo outdoor fabrics range. For samples please feel free to contact me. SJ

So, it official as I'm on the website! As many of my most recent customers will know over the last few months I have been keeping a low profile while I worked my way back to my former life as a Private Client Solicitor...and here I am!

That's not to say I'm about to leave you all behind that said. You can still depend on me to post on the latest fabric trends and styles and I'm still available to do your fabric and design consultations, as I know having that service has made such a big difference to so many of your homes over the years. The making side will mainly be done by Wioleta WK bespoke blinds and curtains. Wioleta trained with me for nearly a year and a half whilst completing her diploma with the National Design Academy so she's certainly safe hands for those of you who really value the handmade quality of our soft furnishings.
I should probably also say you're of course also very welcome to contact me in my capacity as a solicitor or both - why not?!SJ

Had a super time at Indie York AGM last night at the Merchant Adventurers' Hall no less.
An excellent talk by retail consultant Graham Soult - the North Easts Mary Portas! Encouraging us all to embrace our home cities and stay authentic to ourselves - what a great lesson. Lovely also to be in a room full of people putting their heart and soles into what they do. Just wish I'd had time to speak to everyone but all in all great job Indie York for all your hard work in helping the independent businesses that give our city the character, charm and personality we all love 👏

We are really very proud of this recently completed Farmhouse in Farndale. When we first visited the farmhouse it was in much need of a full renovation so a vision was created which complimented and brought in the beautiful colours of the Dale. It was a team effort between myself and Wioleta WK bespoke blinds and curtains, working flat out to hand sew the large number of pieces, and Pete's expertise in period buildings coming into its own to provide a very smooth fitting day. There are more pictures on the website so please visit - www.suzannejaconelli.com

Handmade or Machine made? Too often I see machine made roman blinds in peoples homes when they have been told they were buying handmade blinds. This is upsetting for customers as they have actually received a much cheaper product and one that will not last. You can tell if your blinds are machine made as they will have stitching across the front of the blind at every rod point and/or across the top. This not only looks untidy but will pucker within a fairly short amount of time making your blinds look tired and shapeless. All our Roman Blinds are handmade using three layers of material (face fabric, thermal Interlining and a lining of choice) which are attached by hand using hidden stitching methods to ensure your face fabric is not damaged. This attention to detail ensures our customers do get the best finish possible and blinds that look like new for years to come. SJ www.suzannejaconelli.com
