Curtain, cushion and soft furnishing alterations in Christchurch

Curtain hems, new cushion covers, seat pads and chair seats for your home.

Soft furnishings make a house feel like home. Golden Button shortens and alters curtains, and makes and recovers cushions, seat pads and chair seats — several examples of which you can see on this page and in Our work.

What we can help with

  • Shortening, lengthening and relining curtains
  • New cushion covers, with or without piping
  • Box cushions for sofas and window seats
  • Seat pads and tie-on chair cushions
  • Recovering drop-in dining chair seats
  • Runners, bolsters and small soft furnishing projects

Measuring curtains

Bring curtains in already taken down, together with a note of the finished length you would like, measured from the top of the track or the bottom of the pole ring. If unsure, Dorota can talk you through measuring.

Choosing fabric

You are welcome to bring your own fabric. Upholstery-weight fabrics wear best on seating, and patterns may need extra fabric for matching.

Frequently asked questions

Can you make covers for existing cushion pads?

Yes. Bring the pad or cushion in so the cover can be made to the right size.

Do you come to my home to measure?

Please ring to discuss. In most cases items are brought to the workshop on Bargates.
