For those new to this webpage, you have landed
on a page from the website for Somewhere in Time, Unlimited (SITU).
We are a Seattle-area group of historical costumers who frequently
participate in Victorian reenactment, as well as 18th Century,
Regency, Renfair, 1920's, 1940's costuming, etc. Altho SITU has hosted a number of Design Studios (click to learn more about those) and Workshops over the past few years, we had never offered basic sewing techniques as a workshop in a classroom environment. Suffer no more. In response to several requests for sewing instruction, we will be holding a Workshop specifically to cover this need. Our guest instructor will be Lady Victoria of Essex!

Additionally, we are in
the process of lining up instructors for such
things as: How to Start Costuming, Hat Decorating, Hat Construction
101, Recovering Your Parasol, Hatbox Construction & Decorating, etc.
for both the remainder of 2010 and into 2011. Are YOU an instructor? Do you have a talent you'd be willing to share with a receptive audience? We'd love to hear more information. Let your creativity soar in the midst of like-minded, fun, historical costumers. If you are interested in any of these or have ideas of your own, Lady Victoria would love to hear from you! You can phone her at: 206.720.7606 or email her directly at: LadyVictoria "at" SITUSeattle.com |

For additional basic sewing classes, you might do well
to check with your local fabric store (such as JoAnn Fabrics, Hancocks, Pacific Fabrics, etc.) or even your local sewing machine
sales store to inquire about beginner classes. Most fabric
stores and sewing machine stores and some community colleges offer
sewing classes. For example,
Seattle Central Community College the
Renton Technical College and
New York Fashion Academy (all here
in Washington State) are alternatives to consider. Through
these fine establishments, you may find very good instruction on very simple and basic techniques that
will translate well into costuming abilities. Somewhere in Time, Unlimited is not recommending any of the stores or colleges, merely suggesting locations where you might be able to find classes that you need. |
