Course 2: Soft Furnishings

On Monday I had my first class of Soft Furnishing, another ten week course. I’m hoping to learn how to make curtains, roman blinds and basic things like zips & button-holes. Soon I’ll be able to add curtains and blinds to my repertoire! I hope!

This week we began wish the basic cushion (Which I am already capable of as you have seen!) but this cushion involves buttons for the fastening, now that I can do! I shall upload a picture when its done.
