Welcome to the Sew Much More Podcast! The interviews here are with creative business owners, mostly in the Custom Window Treatment, Soft Home Furnishings, and Upholstery industry, but also with others that are sewing related or business related.
What a thrill is was for me to interview Laurie Medford on
today's podcast!
Laurie joined the window treatment industry in 1983. Her
workroom Centsible Creations specialized in window treatments,
bedding, and upholstery. Laurie was an upholstery instructor at the
Custom Home Furnishings Academy in Charlotte, N.C., and has written
how-to articles for multiple magazines. From 2009 to 2018, Laurie
worked for Rowley Company as an educator. In addition to her
workroom experience, Laurie is an expert at crochet and shares her
ideas and talents by teaching beginning through advanced classes
both in the U.S. and internationally at conferences and seminars.
In her spare time, Laurie enjoys testing patterns for international
designers of yarn art. In 2021 Laurie joined Workroom Tech in Tryon, N.C. as an instructor
for professional workroom courses.
