Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades acknowledges the Wadawurrung people as the Traditional custodians of the land on which we operate. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, and to all of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who live and work on Wadawurrung Country. We acknowledge their unceded sovereignty over Wadawurrung Country, and the ongoing hardship and trauma as a result of colonisation. The history and continuous culture of the Wadawurrung people is an important part of our shared story.

About this workshop
Learn to sew your own puffy sleeve chemise with Corsetière and Costume Maker, Catherine Irving!In this full-day workshop, you will learn the techniques of gathering, rolled hemming, French seams and applying bias binding. These methods will be taught through the creation of a chemise. This workshop is suitable for participants with intermediate sewing skills. At the end of the workshop, you will have a lightweight puffy sleeved chemise, the perfect base layer for an historical or fantasy costume and the skills to expand upon your wardrobe.

Students must be able to competently use a sewing machine – this is not a beginner sewing class. If you can comfortably sew a tote bag or a basic skirt in nonstretch fabric using a sewing machine then you are ready for this class.
