Just look at what our advanced cushion making students created! 🤩

From crisp piping and concealed zips to considered pattern placement, every cushion shows the care and skill that went into it. They even mastered the “a square is not a square” method.

We’re so proud of their beautiful work. Enjoy their work and give them some love! 🧵👏

From fabric to fabulous! 🧵✨

🎉 Our Advanced Course for AMUSF Graduates has officially launched! 🎉

And what a way to start! 🥰

Honestly, these were two of the most fun days we’ve had in a long time — full of learning, creativity and SO much laughter! 😆

First on the agenda… swags and tails ✂️🪡

Just look at what they achieved! 😍👏 We absolutely loved seeing everyone build on their existing skills, try something new and create such beautiful work.

What a brilliant first couple of days for our new Advanced Course. ❤️

We’re already very much looking forward to next month… 😆🎉

Make a piped upholstered cylinder pouffe. We provide the base and everything required.
You can bring the fabric of your choice. We highly recommend your fabric is at least 75% natural fibres. Cotton/linen/wool/viscose.

Have you been watching from afar and wondering whether making Soft Furnishings could be for you?

I’ll let you into a secret…. It’s for everyone 😊🪡

I have developed a 3 day introduction course. We will build on the foundations but make to professional finishes rather than ‘DIY’ quality.
Day 1- Make a cushion with invisible zip
Day 2- Make a lined curtain with pencil pleat tape
Day 3- Make a lined roman blind with no visible stitching.

This course is suitable for ALL levels, including complete beginners.
Book on our website now. Click what’s on and scroll down to September 9th-11th.

🎓 Yesterday, my AMUSF students graduated — not only graduated but walked away with Distinctions, the highest possible grade.🎉

I keep coming back to how far each of you has come. So many of you started your own soft furnishing businesses while still learning, and watching them grow and flourish alongside your skills has been one of the greatest joys of teaching this course.

Our verifier Zoe, who brings decades of experience in this industry, spoke so warmly about the quality and beauty of your work. Standing in front of it all on display yesterday, I couldn’t hold back my emotions. Zoe thank-you for the time and care you took. Having an external verifier really confirms the standard of each students work.

To my graduates: You didn’t just learn a craft — you built something of your own with it. I’m endlessly proud of each of you, and I can’t wait to watch where you go from here. Success is waiting for you all🤍🧵

Do you want this too? Septembers intake for 2026/2027 is almost full. I will be closing bookings soon. Have a look for full details, on our website.

🎉 End of one journey, the next has already begun! 🧵✨

My AMUSF students are graduating — and so many are already turning their skills into flourishing soft furnishing businesses.

Today I’m celebrating Shona 👏 and her stunning final assessment curtains. She never settles for ordinary — always going that extra step to create something truly beautiful.

I am SO proud of what my students create. And this is just the beginning — there’s so much still to showcase. 🙌

Shona, these are beautiful and to be making at this standard, showcases your talent.

Could this be you? Whether you want to sew for yourself or build your own business, the AMUSF accredited diploma walks with you every step of the way. 💛

The details make the difference. I had a lovely day on Monday teaching integrated returns for Roman blinds, using Justine’s method — The secret to a flawless outside-mount Roman blind that hugs the wall with zero light gaps. A reasonably quick detail, huge visual payoff. 🪡✨
