Join us for a two-day workshop where you'll make a pair of elastic-waist shorts from start to finish, then transform them with natural indigo dye.
On Day 1, we'll sew a comfortable pair of shorts using a simple pattern that's great for beginners and experienced sewists alike. You'll learn garment sewing basics including cutting, construction, waistband installation, and finishing techniques.
On Day 2, we'll head into the world of indigo. You'll experiment with shibori folding techniques and clay resist to create unique patterns on your finished shorts before dipping them into an indigo vat. No two pairs will be alike!
This class is perfect for anyone who loves making things by hand and wants to try something a little different. You'll leave with a wearable piece of art and a better understanding of both garment sewing and natural dyeing.
All materials and patterns are included.
This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to connect with slow craft and create something meaningful. All levels of experience are welcome, this class is for students ages 18+.
