The 1st BBC Good Homes Show at the N.E.C. Birmingham, brought audiences of 200 plus
per session, to see Sue demonstrate her skills in 11 sessions over a period of 5
days.
She showed how to have 'High Style Window Dressings at Low Cost', also demonstrating
the basics of 'Headboard & Loose Cover Making'.
Sue again, demonstrated 'Loose Cover' making at 'BBC Good Homes Show 2005' for the AMUSF (Association of Master Upholstery & Soft Furnishings) of which she is a member.
