About us

Sew Special Soft Furnishings Northamptonshire is owned and run by Nicola Greenwood.  I have been trading since 2008, following the birth of my daughter, when I decided it was time for a career change, from the corporate world of international marketing to running my own business and retraining as a soft furnishing’s expert.

I obtained my soft furnishings qualifications (City and Guilds) and then set up my business in Cheshire.  Since then I have relocated to Mawsley, Northamptonshire, the county where I grew up, and have been running my business successfully from there ever since.

I serve the local area of Northamptonshire and cross over the border in to south Leicestershire, in particular Market Harborough and the surrounding villages to the south.

I aim to provide custom made pieces which exactly match my customers’ requirements and pride myself on offering a home from home, personal service.  My attention to detail is the key to making beautiful soft furnishings.  A service you can trust to help create your dream home.

I hope to be able to visit your home sometime soon to offer a consultation, to discuss your vision and ideas, guiding you through the process from start to finish and advising you on all the choices involved in made to measure soft furnishings.

  • " Thank you so much - I couldn’t be more pleased with my blind. The attention to detail is amazing. I knew it would be tricky with such a bold pattern but it folds and hangs perfectly and you have managed to bury the seams vertically, so that they’re simply not visible. It finishes off my new kitchen perfectly and I couldn’t be more delighted. I won’t hesitate to use you again Nikki and to recommend you to others. "

  • " Very friendly and courteous, plus excellent job on lining delicate curtains for our daughter's bedroom. Thanks "

  • " An extremely high, quality blind. Nicola brought round a wide selection of samples to the house for us to choose from. The fitter did a great job. The blind looks fabulous. So pleased - just deciding which window to do next! I would highly recommend. "

  • " Great quality products and service. Nicola was extremely patient through the selection process and really informative with all the items you might not think of. It’s those small details that are managed for you, including any pattern repeats and their symmetry, the hang of the curtain and the best positioning etc. The curtains and blind are beautifully made, so pleased. Can thoroughly recommend. "
