My Grandmother was a curtain maker by trade so I had always wanted to learn how it was done. After doing my NVQ level 1 I decided to give this course ago. I haven’t yet made any curtains but it did give me the confidence to shortened several pairs. I have really enjoyed doing all 3 of my courses with Maria who is brilliant at what she does, the facilities are excellent too. Question is, which course to do next?
