Ready to dress your windows with a professional flourish? Join me for a full day dedicated to learning how to make lined curtains.

What We’ll Cover:

  • Master the “maths” of measuring windows and calculating fabric quantities. Don’t worry—I’ll provide a handy guide to take home so you don’t have to memorise the formulas!
  • Learn how to handle pattern repeats so your curtains line up beautifully.
  • Explore the differences between linings and interlinings, and discover when to use each for the perfect drape.
  • Create a sample curtain while learning the essential steps of machine sewing and lining. This workshop gives you a practical blueprint to replicate for any window in your house.

This class is ideal if you are already comfortable using a sewing machine. No machine instruction is covered in this class.

What to bring with you:

  • Your Sewing Kit: Including fabric scissors, pins, measuring tape and a full 250m minimum reel of all-purpose sewing thread in black and white.
  • Your sewing machine: including all accessories, cables and a pack each of size 80 and 90 sewing machine needles. If you can’t bring your own machine, please let me know in advance – basic machines can be borrowed for the duration of the class, but I need to know in advance.
  • Lunch: Please bring a packed lunch that doesn’t require refrigeration or reheating.
