When you order from DDCD, you’re not choosing off-the-shelf products - you’re investing in craftsmanship, precision, and purpose. Every piece we create is hand-sewn, measured to spec, and carefully finished in our in-house workroom. But what does that process actually look like?
In this post, we take you inside our custom workroom process - so you can see exactly how your drapes, shades, pillows, and cushions come to life.
The Custom Workroom Process - From Fabric to Finishing
At DDCD, creating custom window treatments and soft furnishings isn’t just production - it’s a craft. Our custom workroom process is built on precision, experience, and a deep respect for the materials we work with. Every drape, shade, cushion, and pillow is made by hand in our dedicated workroom using time-honored techniques and designer-level attention to detail.
From your first consultation to the final stitch, here’s how we bring your vision to life.
Step 1 - Consultation & Measurements
Whether you’re a homeowner or an interior designer, the process begins with understanding your space. We review:
Your window or furniture dimensions
The function of the product (light filtering, decorative, support, etc.)
Design preferences, hardware needs, and ideal materials
For complex shapes or installations, we may recommend templates or offer guidance on how to measure correctly.
Step 2 - Fabric & Trim Selection
We help you choose from our curated fabric library — or you can supply your own material (COM). From velvets and linens to sheers and blackout linings, we ensure the selected fabric suits both style and performance.
You can also add:
Trim and piping
Decorative banding
Custom embroidery or monograms
Lining types (interlined, blackout, etc.)
Step 3 - Patterning & Cutting
Every order is drafted and cut by hand or using precision tools, depending on the fabric and design. We account for pattern matching, pleats, hems, seams, and projection — ensuring a perfect fit and balanced visual flow.
Step 4 - Sewing & Assembly
This is where our craftsmanship shines. Our skilled workroom team sews, folds, and assembles your order using proven techniques:
Drapery pleats and lining
Roman shade folds and mounting
Cushions with boxed or knife edges, zippers, and welts
Pillows with filled inserts, trim, and invisible zippers
Every seam is pressed and checked for quality.
Step 5 - Quality Control
Before your piece leaves the workroom, we inspect every stitch, edge, and fold to ensure:
The fabric is clean and undamaged
All hardware and fastenings are included
The final size matches your order specs
The finish meets our standards (and yours)
If it’s not perfect - it doesn’t leave.
Step 6 - Packaging & Delivery
We package each order with care — folded or rolled to reduce creases, labeled for easy installation, and shipped with supporting materials if needed. For trade accounts and designers, we also offer private-label packaging.

Final Thoughts
The DDCD workroom is more than a production space - it’s where your vision becomes a handcrafted reality. Whether it’s a tailored drapery panel, a window seat cushion, or a perfectly piped pillow, every item reflects our belief in slow, thoughtful design.
