Making Simple Lined Curtains

Nothing says "Spring!" more than a new pair of curtains - it can be one of the easiest and inexpensive ways to freshen up a room! But there is an art to making them which is why we have this workshop for you.

This class is slightly different from our other workshops as due to the complexity of making the curtains, and the amount of space the fabric would take up, the workshop shows you how to make them in "miniature". You walk through exactly the same techniques as if you were making a full size set of curtains which allows you to leave the workshop, walk to your local fabric shop and start the process with 100% confidence you know what you are doing.

Areas covered include:

• Measuring for curtains

• Estimating fabric quantities

• Checking, cutting out and pattern matching

• Hems, seam allowances and mitred corners

• Making up

• Attaching heading tape

• Gathering up and hanging
