Being based in Brick Lane means that we're lucky enough to be surrounded by an eclectic mix of boutiques, bars, restaurants, amazing Indian food and of course, lots of far too tempting vintage stores...
To make the most of this, we're adapting our Make a skirt course to include a trip down Brick Lane to see some of the best vintage stores, get inspired and maybe buy some vintage fabric, and then we'll head back to our studio to make your own retro inspired pencil skirt. Shopping and sewing - not a bad way to spend the day in London!
Itinerary
We will start the day with a get together in the studio to give you
the low down of what’s in store for the day. We will then set out for
our tour of Brick Lane where you can experience the sights and sounds of
one of London’s hippest streets.
We will visit the many retro stores and places of interest including
Rokit, This Shop Rocks, London’s first vintage department store Blitz
and “The Shop” where there will be a chance to purchase vintage fabrics.
Back in the studio you will cut out and make a simple pencil skirt in
either you purchased fabric or a fabric of your choice.
You must be able to sew and have made at least one garment before to join the course.
By 4pm you will then be ready to head home with a newly made skirt
and vintage finds or maybe head off to one of the many bars or
restaurants in the area.
