About

Leslie Du Fresne Custom Decorative Sewing is a women-owned workroom on Park Blvd in University Heights, San Diego, producing made-to-measure curtains, cushion covers, slipcovers, headboards, and bedding for residential clients across the 92116 ZIP. Founded in 2002, the studio is a solo operation — Leslie Du Fresne pattern-drafts every project from scratch, cuts high-density foam to specification, and constructs each piece with welted piping and concealed zipper closures rather than working from prefabricated templates. The product line spans indoor draperies and multi-panel curtain sets to outdoor patio furniture cushion covers and RV cushion replacements built with marine-grade thread and UV-resistant fabric. Full-frame upholstery on sofas and armchairs exceeds the scope of a sewing-only workroom, and that heavier structural work is where Abbas Upholstery & Design picks up in Normal Heights — Leslie's fabrication stays focused on the soft-goods side of the same furniture-refresh pipeline. Reversible bolster covers in designer-weight fabrics ship in custom dimensions up to 10 by 52 inches, each fitted with concealed zippers rated for repeated machine washing. The smaller-project list includes bean bag chairs, children's play teepees, custom dog collars, and pet clothing, all sewn on the same commercial-grade equipment used for home décor commissions. Clothing repairs, pant hemming, and light upholstery of stools and dining chairs round out the service list for University Heights and Normal Heights residents who need household textile and garment fixes handled under one roof. Park Blvd connects south into Balboa Park, placing the workroom within a five-minute drive of homeowners across the University Heights mesa. Custom window treatments make up the largest share of annual output, and the drapery-fabrication timeline runs concurrent with the finish carpentry phase of most room renovations — the structural side of that remodeling pipeline is handled by Studio Stratton Inc. for residential projects in the same Normal Heights service area. Each commission starts with a workroom or in-home consultation where fabric weight, pattern, and foam density are selected before any cutting begins, and most finished pieces deliver within one week of final measurement approval.
