FAQ's related to events
What do I need to bring?
What do I need to bring?
A selection of unique fabrics will be available for purchase from $10-$25 on the day or you may bring along your own favourite piece of fabric to co ordinate with your personal taste or decor.
Once you have booked the ticket - you will be notified on fabric sizes needed, however as a general rule 1/2 yard should be sufficient.
What type of fabric should I choose?
What type of fabric should I choose?
Type – Cotton, linen, cotton drill, polyester cotton. They tend to “behave” well during the making process.
Weight – Light to medium weight is best. Heavier fabrics don’t let as much light through and they tend to be stiffer, so harder to work with.
Weave – Tight weave is better than a loose weave. Loose weave fabrics tend to fray more and they don’t hold their form well.
Fabric to avoid:
- Really lightweight satins and silks
- Heavy upholstery fabric
- Fabrics that have voids, or are holey
Design:
- Fabric with a strong grid design, i.e. vertical and/or horizontal lines are best suited for drum shades. If using this type of fabric on an empire shade be aware that the grid will slope away from vertical the further round the shade it travels.
- Fabric without a strong grid eg. florals and abstract designs are perfect!
- Fabric with a large design is not always suitable for small shades.
