I’ll be speaking at INTERIORS by Decorating Den’s conference in San Diego, CA on May 19th from 3:00 -5:00. The topic is near and dear to my heart- Designing Couture Windows. We’ll explore the techniques, tips and trick that turn custom into couture.
Designing Couture Windows offers the design professional an extended venue for skills training. I will cover some of the more challenging aspects of designing window fashions, including calculating yardages, offset pairs and multiple draws, figuring comparable fullness, and specifying unique decorative headings. Turn your custom window fashions into couture treatments with this seminar’s designer’s guide to design and construction techniques for window coverings. You’ll about such dressmaker details as stitch in the ditch, hand picking, embroidery, string welt and more. Plus, see actual samples right off the runway that will take your work to the next level. Discuss how to specify all these to get that final fabulous look. Initiate an in-depth discussion of design strategies for all types of windows, and brainstorm with other pros while you create a design notebook.
