Dear friends, I hope you’re well! It’s been a while since our last chat, but I’m still here, thinking of you. Today’s design story is driven less by aesthetics and more by practicality, and my desire to show off 🙂 I love making pretty things but when these things turn out to be practical as well, I’m twice as tempted to share the outcome, hoping it will inspire some of you to try something similar in your home.

Create Academy | How to Make Beautiful Curtains by Gemma Moulton

If you’ve been following Café Design for some time, then you know how much I love Create Academy and their course offerings so, when they reached out to ask whether I was interested in taking a few of their classes and share my opinions with you, I leaped at the chance. Taking a Create Academy class feels like chatting with incredibly talented friends who are willing to share their wealth of knowledge and experience with you, and are cheering you on as you discover your inner crafter and decorator. Today I’d like to share my thoughts on a relatively recent class added to Create Academy ’s Arts and Crafts curriculum  – How to Make Beautiful Curtains, by Gemma Moulton. Gemma is a prolific curtain-maker and owner of East London Cloth, a workroom specializing in bespoke window treatments and soft furnishings.
