‘I've always loved sewing, creating, curtains, cushions and other soft furnishings. I'm self-taught but wanted to increase my skills with the view to changing career at the tender age of 60. I had already attended a couple of courses run by Louise and found the relaxed yet brilliantly run classes a perfect environment to learn. Louise has a vast knowledge of sewing techniques and excellent business acumen which meant that I didn't hesitate to sign up for the AMUSF Soft Furnishings course. You will be learning with other students who I know will become your friends. I am starting up my own soft furnishings business, but you don't need any reason other than doing something for yourself, and enjoying the company of like-minded chums to make the decision to sign up.’

‘As someone with a deep appreciation for quality interiors and timeless design, enrolling in the AMUSF Soft Furnishing Course was one of the best decisions I’ve made. From day one, the course exceeded my expectations. It’s not just about learning to make beautiful curtains, blinds, and cushions (although you definitely do!), it’s about mastering the craft to a professional standard. Every technique is taught with precision, care and a real emphasis on traditional skills, which I love. Louise is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. She meets you where you are, whether you’re a complete beginner or coming in with some sewing experience. Her passion is infectious, and her attention to detail ensures you leave with skills that are industry-ready. I particularly valued the hands-on, project-based approach. I have built a portfolio I am genuinely proud of - and have the confidence to start creating for real homes, real clients and eventually for my own soft furnishing business. If you’re considering it - go for it. Whether your goal is to launch your own business, work with designers, or simply fall in love with making beautiful interiors, this course gives you everything you need.’

‘I started the AMSUF course in April and can’t believe how much I have learnt! Louise is the kindest and most patient teacher. I very much appreciate her thorough explanation in showing me how to make beautiful soft furnishings. I also really like the fantastic advice throughout the course and the business day that she organised. I can’t wait to carry on and complete the course, learning to make further beautiful soft furnishings. If you are thinking of doing this course then do not hesitate’!

Thank you for a really enjoyable day. It was a real confidence booster for me and I’m so chuffed with what I have achieved all thanks to your clear instructions. I can’t wait for the next lesson!

Louise, thank you just doesn’t seem enough for the lovely relaxed 7 days I have enjoyed on your soft furnishings course- better than therapy!  I have learned invaluable skills and techniques in a friendly, professional atmosphere. My confidence has grown under your excellent guidance and I look forward to putting my new knowledge into practice. Best wishes Kim xx

Brilliant course Louise! I highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to learn make quality curtains. Such great results! Mrs R M. - Attended Advanced curtain making.

I absolutely LOVE my blinds and couldn’t recommend you enough. Brilliant quality blinds made from a material I chose, that wouldn’t have been easy to work with. Faultless

I will recommend you to absolutely everyone. I love my curtains more each day and can’t believe the quality. Thankyou!’

We absolutely love Louise's work, 5 blinds later and a pair of curtains and we couldn’t be happier

I saw first hand how hard Louise works for her clients, always polite and great knowledge on how to help every individual client.
