Workshop: 18th Century Sewing

The Fort Loudoun Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is hosting classes to learn to hand sew an 18th Century petticoat (skirt), perfect to wear to one of the many VA250 events. The techniques are useful for modern clothing alterations and repairs. This is a drop-in course. Attendees should bring scraps of cotton or linen fabric, cotton thread, a needle, pins, and scissors to their first session, during which they will receive a full supply list and instructions. Any skill level is welcome.
