Description

I am City & Guilds trained and qualified in soft furnishing making and hold Level 3 Award in Adult Education & Training. I will teach you all the skills necessary to construct machine made lined curtains to a professional standard. This workshop is suitable for students of all abilities, however, you would need to know the very basics of using a sewing machine or, attend my one-to-one beginner class – “Getting to know your sewing machine”, this can be done on the same day, prior to the curtain course. You will learn how to: Measure windows; calculate fabric quantities and consider pattern repeats; cut out; join widths with perfectly aligned patterns; use a blind hem foot; attach heading tape; hang and dress your curtains. You will make a sample size curtain, which will include all the techniques needed to make full size curtains. You will receive comprehensive step by step instructions, including my easy to use table for calculating fabric quantities. I love to share my knowledge and encourage you to ask any questions throughout the day, or, if you are struggling with anything after the class, you only need to contact me and I will do my best to assist. This workshop commences at 10am and will finish at apx 1.30pm.

What's included in the price?

You will receive a warm welcome. I will supply all tools and materials, plenty of tea and coffee and comprehensive notes to take away. You can bring your own machine along, or you are most welcome to use one of mine.
