Course Content

If you would like to try out making your own soft furnishings and sewn items for your home or as gifts to give to others, then this is the course for you. You will be taught how to make cushions and other household items using the sewing machine and also learn how to make simple curtains. You will learn key techniques, construction processes, and terminology, whilst exploring fabric types and finishes to make your item(s).
This course is suitable for those who have a basic understanding of the sewing machine and would like to learn how to construct sewn items for the home simply in a friendly and relaxed classroom environment alongside other likeminded learners. Alternatively, for those with some experience in this area this course will provide you with the opportunity to extend these skills further by developing a more complex design and range of techniques.
