This past weeka couple of personshave asked me if I would consider doing a tutorial for 18t century gownmaking. Of course Im happy to give pointers and help if I can.

But Im not sure I could handle repeating the same info over and over and over. So I thought...

Why not have a class?"

Wondering if there were more people interested in this? Cause if there are I would seriously consider holding a beginners class.

Comments on this are very welcome:)

I will definitely come! The Duchesse de Montezuma is always pestering me about running her up some frocks, and I'd love to learn from the best!

Youre welcome to come Pekel!.... Its really not very nice of us to exclude men:/

The right topic for this conversation would have been "How about a clothes class?" Ive been working on some mens justacorps( dont know if theyre any good though) But what Ive learn I would be happy to share and also get a mans viewpoint on them ;)

You would be welcome Paul. Designing mens clothes is turning out to be just as challenging and fun as making gowns for the ladies ;)

PS Im certain a cake could be provided lol

I was looking on the marketplace page and I've found some things that would work as one academy.

Besides, on the marketplace I've found one building that would really work as an academy:
