Learn to make an 18th century Shortgown!This is a 2-day Class, Sundays March 6 & 13, 1-4pmGather in the Tavern and learn to make a period appropriate Short gown (ladies jacket), using a JP Ryan pattern (provided for your use during class) to add to your 18th century
wardrobe. Basic sewing skills are required. Participants should bring a sewing machine (in good working order!) with an extension cord, and the usual sewing needs: needles, thread, pins, both fabric and thread scissors, tape measure, marking pencil etc. You also need to provide the fabric for the outter shell of the short gown, preferably a period appropriate medium weight linen or cotton. Please wash and dry this fabric before class. The following purveyors are known to carry period appropriate fabrics: Townsends , Burnley and Trowbridge, and
Wm Booth, Draper. Our local Joann Fabrics also carries a limited supply of appropriate fabrics (please, no polyester). In the class you will learn to cut and fit your short gown using a "Muslin", which will then become your lining. High quality Muslin lining will be provided. You will then cut and sew the rest of the short gown based on your muslin.
