MAKE IT, DYE IT & WEAR IT — YOUR OWN HANDMADE SLIPDRESS
 
Discover the joy of creating something by hand. In two sessions, you’ll get the time and space to explore each step of the process and create your own handmade slipdress with care and attention. From the first cut of fabric to the final natural coloring. A creative journey to make something truly your own.
 
This is a Level 3 (Advanced) workshop, so previous sewing experience is required. If you're at Level 2 (Intermediate), you're welcome to join and challenge yourself while taking your sewing skills to the next level.
___
DAY 1 — DESIGN & SEW
Learn the essentials of garment making, from taking your measurements and drafting a pattern to cutting, sewing and finishing your piece.
 
You’ll create your own basic dress design, with the option to personalise details and adjust the fit to your measurements, depending on your experience and the workshop timeframe.
 
DAY 2 — NATURAL DYEING
On day 2 we'll bring colour to your dress and make it a true one-of-a-kind with natural dyes. Discover the art of natural dyeing and learn how plants, mordants and pH modifiers create beautiful colours and shades.
 
While your dress is prepared in a mordant bath, you’ll experiment with Japanese Shibori techniques to create unique patterns. Then, apply your chosen technique to your garment and watch the colours unfold.
 
FABRICS
2 metres of lotus silk or hemp is included. Additional fabric can be purchased by the metre. Prices vary depending on the fabric.
