Workshop: Sew your own Regency Gown

In this fun and friendly workshop you will make your own Empire-waist, Regency-style gown in a weekend! Under the guidance of super stitchers Alice and Ginny.

Please bring your own small sewing kit and sewing machine if possible but there will be some available to borrow – please contact Jane Austen’s House on booking to reserve one. A full list of what to bring with you will be provided after booking, including fabric suggestions and measurements of fabric needed.

The course will begin on Friday afternoon, and then continue over full days on Saturday and Sunday. The workshop will take place in the grounds of Jane Austen’s House. Over the three days of the course you will have access to the House and the pretty cottage garden.

Alice and Ginny run fun, sociable sewing classes and workshops and will support you on each step of your sewing journey helping you turn your sewing ideas into a reality.

The workshop capacity will be limited to just six people, so you will get lots of one-on-one guidance and help! This workshop is suitable for those with basic sewing machine skills – knowledge of dressmaking is not necessary!
