Dressing To Disrupt - Retro Sewing Workshops
About
Dressing to Disrupt is a SIX-PART retro sewing workshop series where we’ll make a swing dress together, slowly and properly, in sections across six fortnightly sessions.Session dates you'll be attending are:
- April 9
- April 23
- May 7
- May 21
- June 4
- June 18
This series is for people with basic sewing skills - as long as you know how to sew in a straight line and thread a sewing machine, you're in!
BTW - this isn’t just a sewing class - it’s slow sewing, vintage technique, fashion history, and real conversation.
We’ll look at how fashion is shaped by the world around it (class, gender roles, power, politics, respectability), and how what we wear now still sends signals - about identity, confidence, and how we’re read in public.
Sewing machines can be provided, please check the "borrow" option when booking if you need one.
Each session includes guided sewing time, skill-building, and discussion designed to be genuinely connective. Plus it also includes cake!! Feel free to BYO cuppa or non-alcoholic drinks.
You’ll leave with a finished dress you’re proud of, stronger construction skills, and a deeper understanding of what it means to choose vintage style in a modern world.
Plus, a group of new friends!
