Learn the craft of corsetry in a hands-on workshop designed for beginning sewers. Over one weekend, you’ll learn core techniques—taking accurate measurements, drafting a basic corset pattern, cutting fabric and interfacing, inserting coutil and boning channels, sewing busks and grommets, and finishing edges for a clean, comfortable fit. Each step is demonstrated with clear, practical instruction and followed by guided practice so you build confidence and a wearable result.
What you’ll take away:
A fitted, beginner-friendly corset made during class
Pattern-drafting skills you can adapt to different shapes and sizes
Safe, effective methods for installing boning and closures
Tips for fabric choice, reinforcement, and comfort adjustments
Reference notes and a simple troubleshooting checklist
Limited sewing machines will be available. Bring a sewing machine in good working order, basic sewing supplies, and a sense of curiosity—no prior corset experience required. Spaces are limited to ensure individual attention. Perfect for sewists who want to add structured garments to their skill set or start a custom-foundation wardrobe.
