Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that cuts curtain fabric, sews it, and performs finishing processes.
Description
Curtain tailors are skilled specialists who produce window decoration curtains to order. First, they cut the fabric based on actual measurements or design drawings, then create pleats using machine sewing or hand sewing, and perform tasks such as attaching linings and finishing hems. They handle a wide range of processes, including sewing methods suited to material characteristics, decorative stitching, and attaching tassels or rail runners. High sewing precision and aesthetic sense are required, and they may collaborate with interior coordinators or designers. For large or special material curtains, multiple people may work together.
Future Outlook
Due to the diversification of interior demands, demand for custom-made curtains is on a stable trend. Craftsmen with high tailoring skills and knowledge of materials and designs have high value as differentiation from low-price mass-produced products.
