We hope everyone is having fun mixing + matching their fabric pieces!
Here are the steps to help you get started and make the most of Week 2:
- Review the cutting instructions
- Prepare your templates - print out of Double Time Concave & Convex templates at 100%, template plastic/plastic placemat or bristol board, glue stick, paper scissors
- OR Pathways Ruler
- Tools at the ready : Rotary cutter, cutting mat, Frixion marker/marking tool, pins, fabric scissors
- Sewing Machine : thread, washi tape to mark your quarter inch line, optional : quarter inch foot
- Sew A Test Block - check the final measurements, your block should be around 7.5" once sewn
- Continue Cutting Your Concave & Convex pieces out - Once your fabric is cut into the curved components it is very important that you are careful handling them so they don't distort or stretch.

Online Garment Sewing Workshops & Handmade Wardrobe Year
Virtual sewing workshops, studio passes, and Handmade Wardrobe Year
the workroom’s virtual sewing workshops are designed to support thoughtful, skill-building garment sewing - whether you’re joining for a single project or building a handmade wardrobe over time.
Rather than offering a single path, there are several ways to sew with the workroom, depending on how much structure, continuity, and ongoing support feels right for you. This guide outlines each option and how they connect, helping you choose what best fits goals.
Trapeze Dress Virtual Workshop
The Trapeze Dress by Merchant & Mills is a true modern classic and in this workshop, we’ll sew it together while exploring a few of the 7 Hacks, each offering a fresh way to transform this versatile pattern. From a sailor collar or frill sleeve to a tiered skirt or bias-cut silhouette, you’ll discover how small design choices can completely change the look and feel of your dress.
The Handmade Wardrobe Year
The Handmade Wardrobe Year is a year-long sewing experience at the workroom designed to help you grow your garment-making skills and confidence while creating a wardrobe that truly reflects you.
