Heading into the class room/ dining room, late, already pink faced and slightly sweaty having come straight from the rather chaotic CK staff sale, we were ready to learn but not quite ready to see the husband to be all lubed up and ready to lunge off to his squash match ( imagine 50yr old, short shorts and sweat bands) entertaing to say the least.
Definitely not quite ready to give up her teaching gene Miss Hopewell got straight to work with an equipment list- YES just like year 6 science. #1 industrial measuring tape #2 metal ruler #3 curtain rail just three of the top things to have at hand. oh and don't forget a pencil not any pencil a HB "...nice and soft" first thing to do is draw your window as a diagram with nice straight lines not ''hairy one'' or as i said in reply an arty line for those of us who cant actually draw. so yes i got told of straight away Alice already the A* student in the making- not jealous or anything!!
...measure your window and decide whether its going to be a Recess or not.... i SO knew what that was, I was only checking if everyone else did. honest. ( recess is if the blind is going to be on the inside of the frame and not the outside like normal curtain which is just called External)
So with lots of drawing and then adding and subtracting to get all the window, main fabric and lining fabric to correct size and measurement i remembered how much i hated both simple mathematics and how dyslexic i am when it comes to algebra! worst thing though is when its such a small class how impossible it is to physically hide from being made to answer a question publicly.
creative not just yet, but extremely excited about being able to make a bit of perfectly measured fabric to fold up in three perfectly corresponding folds .cool huh!!
