Who we are...

Victoria Fabrics was established in 1995 by Elizabeth Shirley. Over the last thirty years we have developed a strong reputation for the quality and value of our curtain-making work and the range of fabrics and needlecraft supplies which we have offered.

Meet the Team

As I am no longer running the shop, but working on curtain-services from my workshop at home, the team consists of just one:
Elizabeth Shirley (proprietor and curtain-maker)

After moving into our new house we needed curtains and blinds in every room which was going to be an expensive and time consuming task. I first became aware of Victoria Fabrics after seeing some beautiful floral material in the window display. I investigated further and ended up ordering the curtains for the lounge and my new baby's nursery. I was really pleased with the result, they were professionally made, reasonably priced and finished on time. Since then Elizabeth has made curtains or blinds for most of the rooms in my house! She has a great choice of fabric to suit all tastes. I would definitely recommend Victoria Fabrics to everyone.
