Drapemakers

It's opening night for @DDOnStage tonight. We were delighted to be asked to make this dark teal velvet static festoon drape for this touring production. Tickets are still available for this must-see show. #theatredrapes #theshowmustgoon #drapes #uktour ow.ly/nnW950FG6gZ

Two new pegs are welcomed this month into our ever-growing Drapemakers & PDS peg family. Introducing our new Production Assistants, Anna Kohler and Chole Burne. #feelgoodfriday #newstarter #newpeg #welcome #teabreak #pegs #newbie #wearepds #team #latestadditions

Blue Crush 💙 New exciting fabric on the workroom cutting table today. Crushed blue silk for a very exciting new theatre project. #workroomwednesday#juki #sewlove #drapes #wemakedrapes #theatredrapes #cuttingtable #eventdrapes #madeinthemidlands

Pink threads at the ready..... It's unusual for a customer to request the stitching to be a more vivid colour than the drape fabric but we just love this colour combination. #theatredrapes #drapes #sewing #threads

So excited for our friends @NewTheatreHull to be re-opening today. Audiences will be kept safe and socially distanced with our beautiful seat restriction bands. There's nothing like live theatre, here's hoping it is back to stay.#BackOnStage #audiences #theatre #auditorium

We loved working on this canopy project and the end result is absolutely stunning. If you are out walking in the peak district this Spring then do check out the Feather Star take over at The Red Lion pub in Wirksworth. #transformationtuesday #fabriccanopy #supportlocal #bespoke

This week in the workroom we have had an unusual angular border to manufacture for our friends @stage_electrics . With some meticulous measuring and marking our brilliant team made this beautiful border and a pair of front of house drapes to match. #wemakedrapes #education

Theatres across the UK had to bring the curtain down on their shows a year ago this week. We stand with all creative live event industries and show our support. We support theatre; we support live events. #LightItInRed #WeMakeEvents #GovCantSeeUs ow.ly/Xnzv50E1njX

White voile drapes add a sense of soft light elegance to a space. We can manufacture these drapes in a multitude of colourways and finishes. Chat to us about your hanging requirements and we can suggest various options for the tops of your drapes. #voile #eventspace #eventprofs

Thank you for the brilliant installation photos from our friends @stage_electrics . A pair of elegant front of house drapes and rear black drapes for @BishopFoxs school. #drapes #school #theatredrapes #curtains #education

Our install team had the pleasure of a seaside outing to Skegness last week to install some beautiful front of house drapes. A colour combination we've never sewn before but doesn't it look stunning? #drapes #drapery #theatrecurtains #theatredrapes

We are sorry that we have been quiet on here for the last few weeks but we have been super busy working on some exciting new products that we can't wait to share with you over the coming weeks. #workroomwednesday #newproductscomingsoon #drapes #theatredrapes #theshowmustgoon

This week we are bringing a bit of sparkle into lockdown. Such a stunning pairing of beading and fabric don't you think? #theatredrapes #drapes #sparkle #theatre #beading #madeinthemidlands #sewlove

Back in December, we shared a video clip from a snow drape manufacture. Although the finished effect was stunning, we also thought the manufacturing process was a thing of beauty. Each hole was marked out individually through a template and then cut with a scalpel blade. #drapes

Even though our industry is on its knees, there is so much to be grateful for and so this year we’ve decided to give our entire Christmas Charity Fund to Derby City Mission’s Poverty Prevention Food Bank project. #derbycitymission #foodbank #giving #wemakeevents #eventprofsuk

Our office phone lines are out of action all day today. Please call this alternative number 07813712361 or if it's less urgent please email us in the usual way. Normal service will be resumed by Monday.

This custom drape manufacture was one of pure joy. Working with deep red velvet and gold bullion fringe made the workroom feel festive and vibrant. This beautiful backdrop can be seen on stage @soundloungeCIC which opened its doors to live music performance earlier this month.

A pleasure to work on a local project for @GraceChurchNott creating this black stage masking drape with a central cutout. Our team not only made these elegant drapes we installed them too. #drapes #theatredrapes #madeinthemidlands #maskingdrapes

Theatre is at the heart of Drapemakers and we wanted to share a local theatre memory to show our support for @NottmPlayhouse 'The Princess and The Frog' performed at Nottingham Playhouse Neville studio back in Dec 2016, where we manufactured this set-piece canopy #LoveTheatreDay
