Tired of the same old trip to that famous Swedish store? Ready to save a fortune and add a personal touch to your home? Join Alison Leese, expert seamstress and owner of Ministry of Craft, for a hands-on workshop where you’ll master the art of making your own curtains and blinds!
In the first part of our workshop, dive into curtains, exploring a variety of accessories including fabrics and linings, header tapes, and fittings. You’ll also master the art of calculating fabric quantities like a pro. You’ll then get hands-on experience by creating a ‘mini’ curtain complete with lining and mitred corners.
Next, you’ll move on to blinds, where you’ll learn to sew a lined Roman blind from scratch. You’ll master the use of essential accessories such as Roman blind tape, rods, cord, and Velcro, ensuring your blind is fully operational.
Armed with a whole host of hints and tips and a sample of a mini curtain and blind, you’ll leave with both the knowledge and confidence to tackle your own window projects at home and will never need to buy curtains or blinds again.
