About this event
Learn how to make an early 19th century day cap that will be “openly admired by everyone else in the room.” Class will include a discussion on day cap styles in the regency, a pattern for a common cap style with options for adjusting the style to suit, instructions for hand sewing your cap, and options for accessorizing your cap to change the look.
About your instructor Cassie Seamon-
I have been hand crafting historical clothing and accessories from the 18th and 19th century first visiting Colonial Williamsburg in 2017. I love to learn new techniques through formal classes, experimentation, and studying extant garments and I enjoy helping others expand their skills. My latest obsession—all of the ridiculously flouffy, feminine, over the top caps found in portraits and museums. Come join me!
A list of supplies will be sent at a later date.
The cost of the class is $50.00 for members, $65.00 for non-members. Registration will be open to MEMBERS only until May 1, 2025, after which non-members may join us (allowing there is room).
