Farthingales is Expanding
Farthingales has taught corset making classes at many places and offered an extensive list of classes when in Los Angeles, now they're offering them in Stratford, Ontario.
Two large well lit class rooms are almost ready for use with new walls, floors, electrics, windows and sewing machines! The spaces are awesome!
Several professional costumers from one of North Americas premier theatres are offering to teach classes from basic sewing techniques (so you can get up to speed for serious fashion and costume projects) to tailoring, corset making, hat making and ruff making with many other interesting project classes and drafting!
Weekend Workshops will be offered through out the year with several multi evening classes and many since evening or single day classes. Pattern Drafting Classes, Corset Making Classes, Elizabetha Ruff Classes and so many more.

Farthingales L.A. is hosting a two day over-bust corset class at Vogue Fabrics in Evanston, Illinois this coming August!
Two full days it tight to learn all there is about corset making but you will learn alot. Most people don't finish the corset in class but at least they have a pattern that fits them and they know how to complete the corset.
If you really want to know how to fit an over bust corset and put one together this is a good choice. Note: white coutil is used and there is limited to no opportunity to embellish it in class. This is all about learning the processes.
