"How to sew a walking skirt"
April 4, 2009
Members of Somewhere in Time,
Unlimited gathered together for a hands-on workshop to put together
a walking skirt in time to attend the Spring Event in La Conner
called "The Quilted Tulip". Below you will find a few of the photos taken of the participants and the instructor of this workshop, "Miss Bobbie". |

Setting up - Few things you need to remember... |
Tuck your hair out of the way, or you'll snip it! |
Paying close attention. Good to have a daughter along! |
Miss Sharon brought her Victorian
bustle for us to see. Wow! That's a lot of eyelet you've sewn! |
||
"Miss Bobbie" does a pattern fitting. |
"What do you think? Is it long enough?" |
"Oh I hope, I hope!!!!" (Miss Bobbie checks handiwork.) |
We make pattern adjustments like this. |
Pattern was lengthen for a tall young woman. |
"Miss Bobbie" gives excellent ironing instructions. |
Adjustments made, sew!!! | What to do with used needles. | |
"Here's how to make notations" | ||
Miss Judy looks up from her own pattern adjustments. |
All this sewing is hard work, especially schlepping the machine. | |
Here are two new members to SITU. One is a Scandinavian folk dancer who enjoys costuming with us, the other is a steam-punk enthusiast who is creating a crisp skirt from her striped fabric. | ||

workshops, check back often to the website for upcoming dates, or contact Miss Bobbie or Lady Victoria with any questions you may have. |
