Join us for a winter weekend of learning about and sewing some 18th century fine fashion details in historic Savage Maryland's Carroll-Baldwin Hall. We will be studying the differences in dress and style among the different social classes of women in the American colonies during the years of the Revolutionary War.

Following a survey on the topic with 3 speakers, each specializing in one particular social class,  two consecutive workshops will be offered so participants can learn the basics of gown trimming styles and creating a basic workbag that they can trim on their own using the skills learned during the weekend.  

Plan on dressing out during the weekend and enjoying some 18th century punch and much much more. For those arriving Friday evening, we'll enjoy a tavern night with food, wine and 18th century punch.   You will meet the staff and you may wish to bring any projects you might want advice on or help with. You will be able to just socialize or do some shopping at our swap and shop tables.  If you aren't prepared to dress in 18th century attire, we will welcome you all the same!

A special bonus will be a Timeless Treasures millinery trunk show on Friday evening!  This will be a great place to purchase trims for our Sunday workshop as well as finished millinery items.

Saturday, we'll be learning and sewing all day.

The fee of $165 includes the Friday night get together, full day of workshops / presentations on Saturday as well as continental breakfast, lunch, snacks, beverages and dinner on Saturday. Also included are all of the materials for the gown trimming workshop. You will be given a "what to bring" list upon registration.

We plan on having an extra workshop on trimming flat hats at 10 am on Sunday (for an additional $25 fee) along with brunch. This will be at the Howard County Historical Society Museum in Ellicott City, MD.

Just like last year, we'll have our swap and shop table! This is the perfect time to evaluate your costuming sewing stash!

Regular updates will be shared on our Facebook event page.

Workshop fees:
Saturday only -- $150  
Friday/Saturday workshop -- $165  
Friday/Saturday + Sunday workshop -- $190
