Curtain Interlining

Why Choose Curtain Interlining?

Curtain interlining fabric is often used to give curtains a richer appearance and a more substantial feel. Positioned between the decorative fabric and lining, it helps create a softer drape, enhances folds, and adds weight for a beautifully tailored finish.

As well as improving the look of curtains, interlining fabric can provide additional insulation and help protect decorative fabrics from everyday wear. It is particularly popular for made-to-measure curtains, period properties, and rooms where a more luxurious finish is desired.

Our range includes traditional bump interlining and other curtain interlining fabric options suitable for a variety of curtain styles and fabric types. Available by the metre, these versatile interlinings offer flexibility for professional makers, interior designers, and home sewing projects alike.
