Simple Sewing for Theatre with Leesa Hamilton

The Bus Stop Theatre Co-op Trade School

In this 4-hour hands-on workshop, participants will learn introductory sewing skills that are transferable to many applications in theatre. Participants will make a ‘japanese style utility apron’ or a tote bag, according to their choice. We will also go over tips and tricks for common repairs and maintenance, embellishments and breakdown.

BRING YOUR OWN FABRIC: 1.5 meters of 45” wide non-stretch fabric. Suitable fabrics are cotton, polycotton blend, denim, canvas, twill, linen. An old curtain will probably work well. Nothing stretchy, slippery, super shiny, with sequence glued on, fuzzy or furry.

OR: Pay an extra $5 and you can pick from Leesa’s supply!

PLEASE NOTE: THIS WORKSHOP IS OFFERED AT A DIFFERENT VENUE!

Location: NSCAD Fashion Studio, NSCAD; 5163 Duke Street (Corner of Duke and Granville Streets). You will be met inside the main entrance.

**Please wear shoes with a closed toe and heel (university safety policy).

This workshop is one-half of a 2-part workshop with Leesa Hamilton.
