Curtains and blinds can be very expensive especially if your windows are not a standard size. So, if you have ever wanted to learn how to make your own, then this is the course for you!

Soft Furnishing Course

About Soft Furnishing Course

On this Soft Furnishings course, you will learn all the tricks and tips to create curtains, Roman Blinds and lampshades to a professional standard. You will be taken step by step through the process of making a pencil pleat curtain and roman blind sample. In week three you will have the opportunity to make a lampshade. You can then use your newly acquired skills to make a full-sized curtain/blind at home. No previous experience required but you need to be able to use a sewing machine.

You will learn how to:
• Calculate fabric requirements.
• Make a single curtain and Roman blind in a sample size.
• Attach linings.
• Hem and finishings.
• Make a 30cm drum lampshade.

What to bring: everything you need for your curtain and blind is provided for you. Please bring a piece of fabric measuring 30cm x 100cm or larger on week three for your lampshade.

If you don’t want to attend all three lessons, they can be booked separately.

Thimbleberry Sewing is a sewing and crafting venue based in Elderslie.
A bright and spacious studio where you can relax and create.
