Sometimes people think there is nothing for them in a shop that focuses on history and heritage crafts and skills. But really, everything old IS new again, and many of the heritage crafts we sell and teach have very modern applications.

Taught by Carol Saloum (Mistress Courture), one our our member artisans, you will learn to make a summer wrap skirt, using a pattern guide from the 1500s for a typical Spanish underskirt.

Sewing skills required: none

Ahead of the class, to determine the yardage of material required, please supply the following:

1. Your waist measurement
2. Measurement from your waist to the length you want your skirt
3. How much overlap you want - options are 1.5 x, 1.4 x, or 1.3 x your waist measurement
4. Do you want to make a fabric tie for the waist? Or, would you like to use a colored twill tape (available for purchase at the store) for your waistband tie?
