Hello to all you hibernating sewists,
Sewing Workshop are back!
I have reserved the big room in Nuevo for Thursday, February 25, Friday, February26, and Saturday, February 27.
We can be at 25% capacity, (Capacity is around 120), which means there will be plenty of room!
Everyone will be able to have their own 6 foot table to cut things out on and lay out their projects.
Please let me know if you want to participate and which day or (days) you plan to be there and what project you want to work on. [email protected] 951-334-8054
If you want instruction the regular fees are in place: $45 for the first day and $40 for a second day.
If you just want to come and sew I only ask the you help pay for the room.
If you are coming to work on Dress a Girl there is no charge.
I will bring paper plates and utensils, etc. We should probably all bring our own food or order pizza, and we can bring bagged snacks to share.
Beat the winter and quarantine blues and come and sew with others to inspire you!
Here are some of the projects you can receive individual instruction on:
Corset Workshop $175 plus tax on materials for the two days, or $140 for the first day: Sew your own corset; white coutil, cotton twill, and all supplies included. (I recommend this before you attempt to sew a day dress or ball gown) $45 per day to finish.
Under it All $45: Chemise, drawers or combination undies for beginning and intermediate sewers.
Bodice Fitting $45: Make a muslin from your favorite day dress or ball gown pattern and have it fitted to your corseted shape (I recommend Truly Victorian). If this gets completed we will go right into the cutting out process.
Bodice Construction $45 per day: Period techniques taught for any 19th century bodice (day or ball gown) to go over a corseted figure including flat lining, hook and eye closure, boning channels, and piping facings. Supplies will be available for sale.
Summer Sheer Dress $45 per session: Learn to fit the underbodice, gathering, flatfell seams, and cartridge pleat as you construct a gown made of sheer cotton
Skirting the Belle $45: Learn how to make a skirt (day or ball gown) to go over your hoops with period construction techniques and pleating ideas.
The 5 Foot Pinner Apron $45: For beginning to intermediate sewers, learn how to use 5 of your sewing machine feet while constructing a pinner apron
Wrapper $45: This requires 7 yards each of fabric and lining. There are several "Wrapper" patterns available.
UFO $40: Come and sew for the day. Work on your own or get help on your specific project. 2nd Day in a weekend is $40.
We'll have fun, learn new techniques, and accomplish some sewing!
Please let me know if you plan to participate and which class you are interested in doing. I can send you a flyer with more information about each workshop. Supplies (patterns, boning, hook & eye tape, etc.) will be available for purchase.
