This course will cover a series of projects and activities to build your confidence in making furnishings for your home. Small projects such as cushions and samples will introduce the techniques required to make beautiful items for your home. Learn how to add zips and make button holes and the skills needed to make larger items such as curtains look professional. Beginners and those returning to sewing are welcome. It is important to note that craft courses are practical and require a degree of manual dexterity. If you need to bring a carer with you, or be accompanied by another adult please speak to the Programme Manager.
