Description
Vintage Chemise with Lisa Mattock of Forage
Friday 30th & Saturday 31st October from 10:00am - 4:00pm
In this very special class you’ll be using one of Lisa's favourite finds from the French flea markets - authentic antique convent chemises.
Often made by the nuns from linen and hemp during the 18th, 19th and early 20th century these nighties are simple and rustic with varying charming details such as scalloped edges along the neckline or perhaps an elegant monogram either in the centre or over the heart.
Lisa will show you how to take this beautifully simple blank canvas and embellish it with fabric, stitching, and other notions to create a unique decorative piece.
Lisa will provide a kit of materials with everything you need to start your Chemise (included in class price). Kit includes:
- Vintage French chemise
- Pkt antique/vintage French fabrics (students to choose either red/pink or blue/green)
- Ingredients for 3D heart making
- Use of the “thread bar”
Helpful information:
- Morning and afternoon tea provided.
- There are many local options for lunch around the shop. We recommend Theo's Café and Buffet which is located just a couple of doors down from the shop.
- There is ample parking available right in front of the shop.
