We’ll be there to welcome you with our usual tuition and top tips, while the studio will be fully kitted out, ready for you and your sewing project.

Learn to make your own curtain or roman blind at The Sewing Shed! With only one other person in the class, you’re guaranteed expert tuition and guidance from Leonie. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have made at least one finished curtain or blind in your own choice of fabric and more importantly, have learned the skills to be able to continue making at home.
This class is for experienced sewers and ideally, you’ll have completed one of our Saturday sewing socials or one of our 6 week sewing courses. This will ensure you have the core sewing skills and confidence you need to tackle curtains and roman blinds.
Once we’ve received your payment, we will send you an information sheet which will show you how to measure up your window as well as a handy shopping list.
Leonie runs the Curtain and Roman Blind Workshop, please get in touch with her if you any questions or to book a place on the next workshop.
