| Class Description |
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: None, although the ability to use a sewing machine at the most basic level would be useful, hand sewing and finishing will be emphasised.
GENERAL AIM OF THE COURSE: To equip students with the basic skills and confidence required to enable them to undertake a number of soft furnishings projects in the classroom, and to enable them to continue working on their own at home. LEARNING OUTCOMES: Students will have gained the knowledge and understanding necessary to mesure accurately and calculate fabric quantities. They will learn how to prepare fabric for curtain making, and will have the skills necessary to make simple lined curtains with a variety of headings including pencil, pinch and goblet pleats. Other options will include roman blinds, interlined curtains, pelmets, tie backs, cushion covers, swags and tails etc.
GENERAL APPROACH TO THE COURSE: The approach will be flexible to meet the individuals needs, but will involve a lot of demonstration work, and one-to-one tuition. Hand-outs will be given to provide back-up information and help at home.
MATERIALS STUDENTS NEED TO PROVIDE: (We would suggest that unless students already have equipment/materials that they wait until the first session of class before purchasing expensive materials/equipment/text books, etc): Fabric, lining, heading tape, needles, scissors, thread, tape measure. Costs vary enormously for such items, so it is not essential to purchase prior to the first session. Advice will be given then, orin advance by contacting the tutor directly. Other items of haberdashery may be useful but not essential, depending on the type of project undertaken by the student.
