About Us
Reimagining DIY Window Decorating
Traceable Designer®was created to make custom home decorating simple, precise, and completely no-sew.
Our patented Slide-and-Trace System replaces complicated patterns, sewing machines, and wood boards with a process anyone can master–just trace, cut, and hang.
Using the reusable traceable form, an iron, pencil, and scissors, you can transform any fabric into professionally shaped cornices, lambrequins, curtains, swags, and jabots that hang beautifully on a standard curtain rod.
No Styrofoam, wood, staple gun, or sewing machine needed–just professional results in minutes.
The Story Behind the System
I developed Traceable Designer® after seeing how limited most do-it-yourself window-decorating options really were. The kits available often produced bulky, dated, or homemade-looking results – using methods like stuffing fabric into Styrofoam shapes, stapling to wood boards, or padded constructions that rarely achieved professional results.
Even many so-called DIY solutions required advanced sewing skills or a sewing machine – and that's where most people stopped.
Even those with some sewing ability often found that making window treatments was an entirely different challenge, resulting in projects that looked exactly that: homemade.
I wanted to change that. My goal was to create a system that allowed anyone–regardless of sewing experience, design skill, or DIY background–to achieve crisp, perfectly shaped, professional-looking results.
A way to make custom, tailored window treatments that looked like they came from a designer's workroom, but could be made easily at home.
Beyond solving the problem, I wanted to expand the possibilities and redefine what DIY no-sew window decorating could be. Most DIY kits stopped at simple cornices, but Traceable Designer® introduced an entire range of no-sew styles–from lambrequins to swags, pleated valances and even table decor–making it the first and only system to encompass virtually every kind of window treatment imaginable yet made without sewing, a sewing machine, or structured bases.
Equally important was flexibility. Most kits only worked on small, standard-size windows, but Traceable Designer® forms make it easy to adjust panel size while tracing. Using the patented Slide-and-Trace System, each panel can be lengthened or widened by simply sliding the form along the fabric before tracing. Window designs are created in modular sections, allowing you to add as many center panels as needed to span wide, bay, or corner windows with perfect symmetry.
The result is a true custom fit–made with the same ease as a single window project.
To make the experience even easier, every kit is backed by complete video support.
Our official Traceable Designer®YouTube channel features an ever-growing library of more than 100 step-by-step video tutorials, each dedicated to a specific style or kit. Whether you're a beginner or experienced decorator, you'll find clear demonstrations, quick fixes, and inspiration for every project.
The vision led to to our patented Slide-and-Trace System and no-sew rod-pocket design – a complete reimagining of how no-sew decorating is done.
Each reusable Traceable Designer® form is engineered for creative freedom, perfect results, and timeless style–without sewing, complex patterns, structured bases, or limitations.
