about the course

Joanna will present the core skills in easy stages: binding the frame; measuring, cutting and marking up the fabric; fitting and hand stitching the pleated lining and fabric to the frame. You will learn to apply beautiful long fringing, layered with gimp braid. 

 

This one-day workshop is fun and friendly, industrious and creative, and everyone is taught to a professional standard. Whether you are a beginner to sewing or professional soft furnisher, you will take home your own impressive handmade shade and the skills to make many more. 

​

In order to make this workshop possible in one-day, students are provided with a 12in or 16in round shallow shade frame, an ideal shape for learning on. Fringe trimming and the specialist essentials are included in the course fee. All you need to bring is your top fabric.
