Ladies Victorian Bustles and Peticoats Workshops with Melanie Unruh
Petticoats and bustles are essential underpinnings for Victorian and Neo-Victorian dress - and often overlooked. With a good bustle and petticoats your skirts will look better and make you feel confident and beautiful from the skin out. We could all use a bit more "pretty" in our lives.
We'll meet on Saturday and Sunday of the first two weekends in February - Feb 1 & 2, and 8 & 9 - this is a 4-day workshop. Classes start at 9:00 am and we'll break for the day at 4:00. A light tea will be provided each day; attendance is limited to 5 participants.
We will be meeting at Lara Beckwith's studio - registered attendees will be e-mailed the address.
This workshop is for intermediate and more experienced sewers. If you have basic sewing skills (including if you're a quilt-maker), you'll be fine in this class. Otherwise consider taking our Machine Basics class in November as a pre-requisite. Plan to spend some sewing time outside of class on Saturday evening so we can all start in the same place on Sunday.
We'll be using Truly Victorian Patterns - TV 101 Petticoat with Wire Bustle, and TV170 Victorian Petticoats. Besides teaching construction and assembly techniques, we'll be including decorating your undergarments with ribbon and lace.
The cost for the workshop is $350, which includes patterns and bustle wire; if you already own the patterns and have bustle wire, you can purchase the workshop only for $275.
Sorry, we cannot refund registrations; they can be transferred to another person though.
