With Nancy Letts

Fabricating upholstered cornices can be quite profitable with the right know-how. In this comprehensive class, Nancy will show you how to measure for, construct, and upholster a cornice, using a single piece of fabric for the face and returns. You will learn about what materials to use, considerations for bay and corner windows, things to watch for when measuring, methods to lighten large cornices, how and when to hinge large cornices, pattern placement, and more.
