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 has since demonstrated Loose Cover making at BBC Good Homes Show for the AMUSF 
(The Association of Master Upholsterers & Soft Furnishers

​

She runs her own Soft Furnishing Business, being a specialist in Arch Window Treatments and Loose Covers. Her approach is the easier way to make soft furnishings from low cost fabrics with emphasis on style, taking the mystery out of working with fabrics, and also knowing how Adults learn best as Adults.

Sue is teaching her grandchildren to sew - they need to see the fascination of how things can be created.  The variety of textures, colours and how to use pins along with scissors safely.

 

Sue passed a lot of her sewing skills to her daughter & now the next generation are getting hooked.
