Brenda Williams reviewed: Bespoke Interlined Curtains

"I can’t recommend this workshop highly enough. I wanted to learn how to make luxury curtains and this workshop has shown me how. I now have the confidence to tackle all the windows in my house at a fraction of the cost of having bespoke curtains made. Janet is warm and friendly and we immediately hit it off. She has extensive experience and knowledge and having discussed my knowledge and experience over a coffee we got to work. The order of work is comprehensively documented and Janet went through it at my pace, ensuring I fully understood each step before moving on to the next. Within about 10 minutes I learnt so much I felt I’d already got my money’s worth - she is a fabulous teacher. The workshop is hands-on and covers every aspect including measuring, selecting fabric and other components, hand-stitching, different pleats and dressing the finished curtain. I came away with a sample curtain I had made with varied pleats and the confidence to make all my curtains going forward. It was one of the most enjoyable days I’ve had, Janet is a lovely lady, we had a lot of laughs, and she shared her knowledge freely. I really can’t recommend this workshop enough."

Jo Aherne reviewed: Machine made lined curtains

"I had such an enjoyable and informative day learning how to make machine made curtains with Janet. I was a complete beginner and Janet took the time to explain how to set up the machine and how to sew straight. I was given the opportunity to practise sewing and received lots of great instruction, tips and feed back. After building up my confidence Janet then moved me onto making the curtains. There is a lot to learn and I was given really detailed notes to take away with me that broke everything down into really manageable steps. I was guided through all theses steps and Janet was there to help and guide me throughout. By the end of the session I had managed to make myself a lined curtain! Janet also gave me some very good advice on some curtains that I was planning to make. The lesson was really relaxed and Janet is really good fun and very experienced. I am so glad I did this course on a one to one, as I do not think that could have learned so much in a group lesson. I will definitely be back to do one of her other courses once I have mastered the lined curtains."

Gill reviewed: Machine Made Roman Blinds

"The Roman blind making course was great. Janet is very knowledgeable and an excellent teacher. I’m very pleased with the sample blind I made and confident that I can now make some lovely furnishings for my home and for friends - a really enjoyable day, thank you, Janet."

Penny Allen reviewed: Bespoke Interlined Roman Blinds

"I had such a fun day with Janet and came away with my prototype roman blind - so proud! I can't wait to make my own blind now and feel much more confident armed with Janet's detailed notes and useful spread sheet to work out my measurements. I would definitely recommend this course - Janet makes you feel very welcome and provides a delicious lunch and plenty of tea! "
