I’m super excited to announce that next month I’ll be teaching a curtain sewing workshop at the fabulous Mood Fabrics in NYC! This is a thrill for me because I am absolutely obsessed with Mood–I have spent literally years of my life stalking the aisles there. It’s where I buy most of the fabric I sew with (including many of the gorgeous fabrics I used in my book, Sewing in a Straight Line). And, um, it’s also where Tim Gunn and the contestants shop in every episode of Project Runway.
So needless to say, it will be a great treat for me to teach a workshop there! If you’re in the New York area, please join me on Tuesday, September 25 from 5:30-6:30pm and learn to sew pleated, lined curtains like the ones I made for my dining room. These ones (remember?):
I’ll be giving an overview of everything you need to know to make professional-looking custom curtains–like which types of fabric are best to use, how to add a lining, the 411 on hems, all the tricks of pleating tape, and more. I’ll also be giving out tons of advice so I’ll be happy to answer any burning curtain questions that are keeping you awake at night.
Curtains really do wonders for a room. They’re not difficult to sew, even for beginners, and if you make them yourself you can save a boatload of cash.
So join me at Mood, will you? It is sure to be a fabulous evening in the wonderful New York City garment district, surrounded by miles of amazing fabric. (And who knows, we may even run into Tim Gunn!)

Is there a list of supplies to be purchased ahead of time? Sorry if this info is somewhere, but I haven’t found it. Super excited for the class!
Good question! The workshop will consist of me demonstrating/lecturing how to make the curtains–attendees won’t actually be sewing, just watching. So you’ll be able to soak it all in then buy your supplies afterwards. Glad you’re coming, looking forward to seeing you there! xo Brett
