Sharon Coppede is the owner of Custom Window Treatments, Inc.

In 1982, when her children were 4 and 2 yrs. old, Sharon joined a neighborhood cottage industry in Plymouth, Mass. as a seamstress for aprons, toaster covers, and tab top drapes stenciled on the lead edges. She realized she had a gift for making window treatments and when she moved to our next assignment in Virginia, she built a 4 x 8 table in the walk-out basement and that is when she started making draperies for customers. Sharon went to Sew What conferences as a student and then, over time, went as a presenter. After a few more moves and when they moved to Charlotte, NC in 1996, Sharon's goal was to get out of the basement and into a space and Custom Window Treatments, Inc., a "to the trade workroom" came about. She targeted high end designers and she now has a thriving business with a staff. Her company fabricates not only for local designers but designers throughout the country contact CWT for their customers moving to the area. Sharon's specialty since the beginning was working with silk and English Bump Interlining. Silk has pretty much been replaced with linen as trends come and go. But their customer service and quality have always stayed.
