Pencil Pleat Lined Curtains

Learn how to make simple yet fabulous pencil pleat lined curtains.

You will learn:

· how to measure the window

· calculate the fabric needed for different curtain lengths

This is a straight forward easy workshop so please don’t worry if you are only at beginners level – curtains are much easier than you think!

Really brilliant class, a lot easier than I thought it would be x

I signed up to this class with little confidence and thought I would need many more lessons after one session to grasp how to make a curtain; however, Lisa was very thorough with her explanations and demonstrations! Even if you are new to the sewing world, I urge you to get in touch and even come join in! It’s really not that hard, especially with great tutors like Lisa :-) x
