SITU-University Presents:

"How to Make a Walking Skirt" with
SITU's own Lady Paisley

May 21, 2011
Seattle Library in Seattle

A Walking Skirt is a basic staple in a historical costumer's closet!  This very transitional skirt will carry you between the 1890's and the Edwardian era.

Lady Paisley is going to show us how to put together this simple skirt in time for you to use this garment for the various Dress-up Opportunities in 2011.

There is no charge for the Workshop, except for the fabric and pattern which you will purchase in advance of the class.  You will bring your own sewing machine and accessories.  This is NOT a class for very beginner sewers as there will not be enough one-on-one time with each person.  If you need that kind of help, register for the Workshop below.  Lady Victoria uses a mini Walking Skirt pattern to learn how to sew.

Still interested?  Please register with LadyPaisley "at" SITUSeattle.com

   

SITU-University Presents:

"Beginning Sewing" with
SITU's own Lady Victoria & Lady Paisley

May, 2011

You've taken Home Ec before, or, you never learned to sew.  Either way, our instructors are going to teach you some basics to sewing and magically, your fears will fall away!

At the end of the class, you will have learned how to lay out the Walking Skirt pattern by Folkwear, learned how to use your sewing machine, and are well on the way to producing a full size walking skirt on your own in time to participate in SITU functions.

Time and date hasn't been set, but it will probably be May.

Interested?  Email LadyVictoria "at" SITUSeattle.com with questions or to pre-register.
