Make your own curtains, cushions and chairs at these fun DIY classes
These are skills you can use forever.
An upcoming series of fun workshops will show you how to upcycle old lamps, chairs and cushions for a fraction of the cost of buying trendy new pieces.
Master upholsterer Annette Leeman from Glenbower House will be leading a series of full-day workshops in November at the Fabric Outlet in Douglas.
Kicking off at 10am until 4.30pm, lunch is included in the ticket price so it’s a brilliant excuse to make a day of it and learn some handy skills in a relaxed atmosphere.
Here are the upcoming Cork workshops:
- October 26th, 2019: A fun day making Christmas decorations with fabric. Cost: €80
- November 2nd, 2019: Chair upholstery: Learn to fully reupholster an occasional chair (the chair is supplied and yours to take home!) Cost: €135
- November 9th, 2019: Sewing Day: Want to make your own cushion covers, curtains, chair pads and home furnishings? This is the place to get the skills you need – they’ll even tailor the day to you if there’s something specific you’d like to learn.
- November 16th, 2019: Another opportunity to make Christmas decorations from fabric. Cost: €80
Special dietary needs are catered for and a deposit of €30 is required to hold your place. Bookings for the workshops at Cork Fabric Outlet, Unit 28, St Patrick’s Woolen Mills, Douglas, can be made on Facebook through the Glenbower House Facebook page or calling Annette directly on 089 480 1888.
