Our homes reflect our personalities and lifestyles – what better reason to learn how to make your own silk curtains. Using your personal creativity, the correct design and colour, your handmade curtains can give a totally new look and feel to a room.
The course is designated to give you a specific education in the importance and relevance of hand stitching silk curtains. The programmed concentrates on each student creating their own sample curtain, finished with a French pleat.
