About some of the Classes we run from time to time

    
Plain piped Cushion
Does just that. Teaches you piping and Zip and you will come away with a lovely cushion. May need to bring your own machine. Some experience an advantage, beginners welcome.

A Roman Blind
Better if you have had some experience with curtain making but a day filled with learning. You will make a small sample blind to learn techniques to use at home on a real life size one.

Applique
A wonderful decorative technique. Need fabric scraps and your machine if you can. Taught by my guest tutor Sue. A very rewarding morning. All levels of experience

Sew..A Tucked and textured cushion
Make a cushion and learn how to make tucks and pintucks. Your own creation. A little confidence on your machine an advantage

A hand Pleated Valance
This is suitable for beginners and shows the basic technique hand pleating . Not full size to learn the techniques.(will re-schedule)

Foundation Patchwork
A wonderful morning of pieceing and making patchwork. A great technique and easily learned. Some Fabric scraps will be needed.

Simple Firm pelmet
Learn the principals of making a pelmet. We will only be doing a small one but you never know...you may like it.

A Box Cushion
Not that easy but very rewarding. We will make a real size one so measure up the pad and bring your fabric. Some experience will make it easier but beginners welcome

Quick Patchwork Squares
This is great for beginners and very quick to do and you will be able to carry on at home. Lots of patchwork techniques learned here

Tie Back
Make one and you will learn all about them. Not that easy for beginners but if you have learned the piped cushion you will easy do this.

Swags and Tails
Learn how to make a life size pattern of a swag and tail and then make it up. You will need to have a window measurement if you want to make a real one but it would be a better idea to do a mock up one first. Not really that easy for real beginners

Loose covers for an armchair
This will involve one half day followed about three weeks later of four full Saturdays. Once I know the interest I will sort out the dates.  You will need to work on your own chair and have to bring it here to make your cover but it will be able to stay here for the duration of the course.
