Making a crinoline cage recording

  This is a listing for a recoding link for those who missed the class!

 Welcome to our online class!

 This is the first of a series, offfered at a discounted rate as I am 'testing the waters' (format and set up, etc), but if all goes to plan there will be quite a few of these coming out in 2024.

 The live classes will focus on demonsttrating the techniques of making and assembling a round crinoline cage suitable for 1856-65 fashions.  

 You will be able to ask questions on the chat during the course, and I will be pausing to check them regularly. There will also be time to ask more questions at the end of the session.

 This is not a "sew along" session -  you don't need to purchase any materials to participate in the class, and you don't need to do any sewing at all during the live session (unless you want to have a little project in the background to work on as you watch - I know I usually do!). you don't need a pattern for this class- or you can use a commercial pattern  you have bought as well- the skills shown will be beneficial in either case. 

 The class will be recordedand a link to the recorded session will be sent after the session - so you can access it at any time convenient to you and pause and play for your own private sew-along.

If you purchase the class but cannot attend, the link with the recording will still be sent out to you to watch at your leisure.

 The recorded link will be accessible within a year from the date of the online class.
