We are excited to announce a new online class series for beginner level students. The WT Online series is a great way to get started with sewing window treatments. The first class will cover how to make a basic roman shade with instructor Susan Woodcock, professional workroom educator and author of Singer(R) Sewing Custom Curtains, Shades and Top Treatments.
Roman shades are one of the most popular styles today. It's a perfect beginner project because it doesn't require a large sewing area, or as much fabric as other window treatment styles. In this three week online course you will complete a 24" x 42" flat fold, lined roman shade, mounted on a board with screw eyes and cord cleat lift system including components to meet cord safety standards. You will provide your own face fabric - everything else is included in the project kit.
This class includes:
Three 1-hour online, interactive lessons with instructor Susan Woodcock, presented live and recorded to review later (with 3-months of access online after class is completed).
Written how-to instructions
Project kit with lining, shade rings and cord safety components, installation supplies, weight bar and board cut to size.
